    Dear CFTC Commissioners,

    I am writing with utmost enthusiasm and support for your request for comments on KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of prediction markets and the incredible benefits they bring through their unmatched accuracy and responsiveness in reflecting real-time probabilities.

    Prediction markets are not only exceptional forecasting tools but also valuable instruments that help correct and balance media narratives. By aggregating diverse viewpoints, they offer a unique "outside view" of events, providing a solid foundation for individuals to develop a more precise and well-rounded understanding of our ever-evolving political landscape.

    In today's world of information overload, prediction markets stand as a beacon of rationality and evidence-based prediction. They play a vital role in countering sensationalism and contribute to a more positive, informed, and nuanced perspective on politics. This not only benefits market participants but also empowers the general public to become more engaged and enlightened citizens.

    I genuinely appreciate the importance of rigorous regulation and oversight to safeguard against misuse. As the CFTC considers the matter of KalshiEX LLC's Congressional Control Contracts, I encourage the Commission to embrace the tremendous potential these markets offer for the greater good while ensuring a balanced approach that fosters innovation and safeguards consumers.

    Thank you for your unwavering dedication and attention to this matter.

    Sincerely,
