 Hi Jennifer, 

I noticed that Malden has this in response to e mails:

When responding, please be aware that the Massachusetts Secretary of State has determined that most email is public record and therefore cannot be kept confidential.

While your July 1, 2021 e mail to me notes this:

 My question is: How can it be confidential when it is public record?
