A conservative board of education member in Marlboro Township, New Jersey, is in the midst of a case regarding disgusting text messages that threatened her life.

Danielle Bellomo is a mother of three children. She spoke to Fox News about the dark messages that prompted legal action.

“When I read those words, ‘She can’t die soon enough,’ it stopped me in my tracks. I always knew there was disagreement politically, but I never really wrapped my head around the fact that they actually wanted me dead.”

A judge recently extended a temporary protective order against a man named Mitesh Gandhi who is married to another school board member. Gandhi is accused of texting in a group chat called This Bitch Needs to Die. He also allegedly wrote Mission is to just let her die by herself lol.

Gandhi tried to have the case dismissed, but his request was denied. The New York Post referred to Bellomo as a MAGA-loving New Jersey Mom.

Gandhi also allegedly made text statements to another father in the area named David Pucciarelli, whom the Post is calling a whistleblower in the case. At first Pucciarelli thought it was gossip but he is now prepared to testify in the case after sharing the messages with Bellomo. She reported them to law enforcement and got the protective order to shield herself and her family.

Gandhi was previously accused of taking part in the This Bitch Needs to Die group chat with the Marlboro board of education vice president Chad Hyett, former board candidates Scott Semaya and Nirav Kadakia, and former public school teacher Lenny Thor.

The sick chat went viral in October when a photo was posted to social media of Semaya at a public meeting typing into his phone. The message read Bellomo must be cold — her nips could cut glass right n.

In a Facebook post on Saturday, Bellomo wrote about the toll the issue has taken on her.

“It has been a devastating realization, living with the fact that someone walks among me in my community that doesnt just dislike my Republican views, but actually has stated that the mission is ‘for her die alone.’ I was changed forever seeing this hatred and vitriol.”

She also criticized local officials for failing to act.

“How superintendent Ballone and president Brian Cohen refuses to enact policy knowing these messages exists has damaged my life. I am glad that my family will continue to be protected through the court system.”

Bellomo’s protective order extends until January when a trial will be held.

Bellomo believes there has been a lack of response from her school district.

“Our township has policies. If someone is a threat, they’re not supposed to be allowed on school property. Our superintendent, Dr. Michael Ballone, did nothing. Our board president, Brian Cohen, did nothing. They chose not to implement the policies that are already in place.”

The news about Bellomo comes after the conservative founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in September during a speaking event at Utah Valley University.

This case illustrates the dangerous environment facing conservatives who get involved in local politics. School board races have become battlegrounds over issues like curriculum content, parental rights and transgender policies. Those who challenge the educational establishment often face vicious personal attacks.

Bellomo’s situation shows how far some opponents will go beyond simple political disagreement. Creating a group chat specifically named after wanting someone dead crosses every line of decency and potentially the law.

The fact that a school board vice president allegedly participated in this chat raises serious questions about leadership in the district. Parents send their children to schools governed by these officials expecting professionalism and maturity.

Local school boards have become ground zero for the culture war in America. Conservative parents who run for these positions to have a voice in their children’s education often face organized opposition from entrenched interests.

The district’s apparent failure to enforce its own safety policies adds another layer of outrage for supporters of Bellomo. Existing rules should have been applied once administrators became aware of the threatening messages.

Bellomo remains on the school board despite the harassment. Her willingness to continue serving after receiving death threats demonstrates the courage required of conservatives who challenge the status quo in public education.

The January trial will determine what legal consequences Gandhi faces for his alleged role in the threatening messages. The outcome could set precedent for how seriously courts treat political harassment of elected officials.
