Where, precisely, are the facts that back up the 'alternative facts' in this letter? I am the author of the letter that is referred to here, and I am quite aware of the records of both candidates. I wrote a support letter without attacking the opponent. If your candidate was the strongest candidate, your letter would have written on her strengths without manufacturing false weaknesses in her opponent.

I tried to find your candidate's publication record and 'numerous accolades' on Web of Science (one of many academic search engines) and find only a modest number of one page abstracts (peer-reviewed?) and two multi-page publications, all published within a single journal. Your candidate's co-author on her 'award-winning' paper, who obviously worked closely with her, is supporting Bruce McComas. Ask yourself why.
