Adam Morfeld, and aims to use "all the legal tools at our disposal to protect Nebraskans and expose extremists, their tactics and misinformation."

Morfeld described the tactics utilized by extremists as "dangerous to our democracy, influence the outcomes of elections, and create a toxic political environment."
