When a candidate, whom we supported for office, like Joe Padilla, is attacked in a coordinated effort by the disappointed opposition, our Party will speak out! These folks all filed ethics complaints very closely together, after lots of chatter on Facebook about how to go about discrediting Joe Padilla, which they did plenty of before and during the elections. Most of them posted support for Joe’s opposition candidates.

Take a look, yourselves, at the voting records of these folks who filed the ethics complaints. We don’t think it takes much effort to see that something is amiss. Something looks darn suspicious!! Our Open Primaries allow folks to vote in primaries for parties with whom they do not really assimilate. We had no Democrat candidates, so some Democrats Crossed Over and asked for Republican ballots to elect RINOS, who are more in line with Democrat Values and Principles.

Joe Padilla did nothing wrong! However, they don’t like his Values and Principles, so they attack him. SHAME on the School Board for entertaining these complaints! During the hearing, the members of the Ethics Committee and their attorney said they were unclear if they really had clearly defined rules to go by, but that didn’t stop them from adjudicating the complaints.

We expect better from our elected officials, and we will be working to find candidates who not only agree with our Values and Principles but will fight for them.
