Robert Goforth was a Kentucky state representative and a gubernatorial candidate. He was arrested in 2020 for strangulation and domestic violence charges. His wife told police he strangled her with a cord until she feared for her life and was about to pass out. In a plea deal, he pleaded guilty to the domestic violence charge and the strangulation was dropped. He was sentenced to 59 days which he gets to serve concurrently with a federal sentence for fraud and money laundering. I think the voters in his district deserve to be called out as well. 71% of them re-elected this abuser even though his indictment for domestic violence and strangulation was common knowledge.

Erick Bennett challenged Susan Collins in the GOP primary in Maine, hoping to replace her in the U.S. Senate. He was convicted of domestic violence after attacking his wife in 2003. He also thinks that is a reason to vote for him. He claims his wife set him up and that he has been jailed for refusing to admit to something he didn’t do. This, he claims, is proof of how much integrity he has. His defense was she tripped over her own feet and fell against him. He was convicted, appealed and appealed and lost and lost.

Ryan Nawrocki was the Republican candidate for Baltimore County, Maryland’s Sixth District council race. However, a past police report leaves questions. In the report, his girlfriend, who is now his wife, alleged that he struck her, pushed her down, and choked her. She told the police twice that he assaulted her during arguments. In the first report to the police, she claimed he pushed her down, but she was uninjured. In the second report, she claimed he hit her and split her lip, pushed her to the floor and was choking her. She managed to get him to stop by digging her nails into his arm. The police officer noted the injuries to her upper and lower lip and also noted that Nawrocki had injuries of his own. She now ascribes their altercation to youth and says there was no abuse.

Steve Von Loor won the Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in North Carolina in a district backed with as many liberals as possible to dilute their voting power.
