Election Day Message from Darrell Harris
It’s been a strange few days, indeed.
Body-cam footage of my opponent, Anne Hughes, was released yesterday, and I encourage you to watch it.
Last Friday night, police came to Ms. Hughes’s door looking for my campaign signs, which had been traced to her home. She declined their request to return them, saying they were in a garage she wouldn’t open, and promised to bring them to the station. Instead, on Saturday, she came to my house uninvited and confronted me and a campaign worker. She said I should be the one to take the signs back, criticized me for “escalating” the situation, and told me, “This kind of behavior doesn’t make it safer for people like you to run for office.”
If you watch the footage, especially her conversation with Chief Fodi, you can judge for yourself what I experienced.
As you head to the polls today, I hope you’ll weigh our differences on local control, taxes, unfunded mandates, and protecting the watershed. I also hope you’ll think about character. When I started this campaign, I promised myself I’d run the kind of campaign I could be proud of, one where I could walk into any room afterward knowing I played it straight. I’d rather earn your vote that way. I hope you want the same from the person who represents you.
I believe we notice these things.
