For the second time in the past few weeks, a candidate running for the 14th District has been publicly chastised by fellow Democrats for implying support where none exists. This egregious pattern of behavior compelled both Pete Schwartzkopf and Jeff Balk to publicly disavow the implied support. It is difficult to respect a candidate who resorts to such tactics. Elected leaders should demonstrate a record of personal successes and accomplishments, leaving the voters to decide their value to the community.
