Dear Attorney General Schmitt,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.  Attorney General Schmitt, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work in public service, as 43^rd Attorney General of Missouri, and as a moderate Republican to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as Member of the Missouri Senate from the 15^th district from 2009-2017, I truly appreciate on how you were a strong supporter of Civil Rights  to help protect minorities, women, and people with disabilities from being discriminated in education and public places. On the environment, I liked on how you supported funds for renewable energy resources to reduce addiction to oil with gas and encouraging businesses including industries to use energy-efficient products to reduce high energy while reduce pollution. Also when you served in the Missouri State Senate, I really liked on how you worked with Democrats to pass The ABLE Act to help provide money assistance to people with disabilities including families that have members of the family who have a disability get help on health care, education, and improve on helping them get a better assistance on getting a chance for social security eve though when both political parties weren’t supportive of people with disabilities’ rights.  In your role as 46^th Treasurer of Missouri, I like on how you continue to work on expanding ABLE Act to help people with disabilities get assistance including protect them form losing benefits in Medicaid,  launching the Missouri FIRST to allow the state government including the Office of the Missouri State Treasurer to  expand on partnership with small businesses including agriculture along with Main Street Missouri to help improve on consumer safety, hire employees, and create job training development.   In your current role as 43^rd Missouri Attorney General, I truly appreciate on how you are continuing to support Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, prosecuting people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and investigating public places that practice different forms of discrimination or violate civil rights legislation.  Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug abuse, working with law enforcement to expand resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma,  and expressing the need for funds to improve DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform.  Another thing I like about your role as Attorney General of Missouri is how is how you worked with state legislator to provide funds to improve rape kits to reduce repeated sex offenders, went after industries that illegally polluted the environment or violated environmental laws,  and prosecuted public officials that were corrupt or accepted illegal bribes.   Also I really like on how you are a moderate Republican on supporting Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights, protecting the environment, supporting criminal justice reform, and many others.

Attorney General Schmitt, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects,  sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also your story about having a son with a disability and how you got heavily involved in supporting people with disabilities’ rights is an inspiration. Also your role in public service, as a Attorney General of Missouri, and as a moderate Republican gives me motivation to continue to  learn more history including social justice.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society including public service.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support civil rights especially people with disabilities’ rights, push for criminal justice reform, protect the environment, and many others. Also I truly appreciate on how you are a moderate Republican standing up for common sense when the GOP gets too extreme.  You have truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your work in public service, and be motivated to continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to advocate for common sense ideas.

Sincerely

Matt Winick
