Smurfs aren’t just the cute little blue characters we remember from the 80’s and 90’s, there is a much more nefarious meaning behind “smurf” or “smurfing”.
I told you the source. The FEC on the Tony Wied for Congress campaign finance report. I have no way to contact the campaign directly but I absolutely did send an email. Please forward the substack to the campaign.
I contacted his campaign and have heard absolutely nothing back. There is no question that Tony Wied's is being smurfed. There are 57 donations by Alicia Kandt, who probably has no idea that her name is being used to launder money. Since 2023 Alicia Kandt has "donated" well over 8,000 times in a year. I would love to see Tony Wied condemn and disavow this smurfing and stand for integrity in campaigns and elections.
Also he said...you never contacted the campaign
I did get a response...from the campaign manager...Henry.
They have no idea what you are talking about...
What is your source?

I did send the substack...
Your writing the article before discussing with campaign is bad journalism.
Please write a retraction...
I stand by what I wrote, I didn’t say anything untrue. I have documented all of it. If Wied was unaware he should address it immediately and I would
love to be able to publish the action he is taking against smurfing.
What is the source of your smurf evidence?
The FEC (Federal Election Commission) finance report by Tony Wied for Congress.
So after you contacted the Wied campaign...what was their response?
Your reporting/observations could be considered implying a wrong...where a simple phone call could have cleared this matter up...
Planting a narrative of wrong doing without investigating...is simply...bad form.

That would be fantastic. Please let me know when you get a response.
