Frank Sapareto was a state legislator in New Hampshire. He lost re-election in 2018 after being sued for hitting the producer of a porn video he played a role in. He was not voted out after convicted of assaulting his ex-girlfriend’s son and daughter. He claimed he was just protecting her from her angry son, but he did plead guilty to all three counts of misdemeanor assault. The others told police that Sapareto forced his way into their home and was the aggressor.
526: James Spillane

James Spillane represents Rockingham2 in the New Hampshire legislature and has since 2014. He was elected in spite of pleading guilty to trying to strangle his wife. They had been out to dinner, he had a few drinks so she was driving. They were arguing and he yanked hard on the wheel causing the car to go off the road and crash near their home. The car totaled a neighbor’s mailbox and they called 911. So did Spillane’s wife. According to the police, she said that her husband “just tried to kill her…he totaled her car with her in it and he came in the house and tried to strangle her.”

David Hawk is a Tennessee State Representative. He also ran in the primary for US House District 1, but only got about 5% of the vote. It’s not as bad as it sounds. There were ten in the primary. In 2012, he was charged in a domestic violence incident. The grand jury refused to indict him with the misdemeanor and instead charged him with felony reckless endangerment.

509: Augustus Sol Invictus

Augustus Sol Invictus is a white nationalist associated with the Nazi group AtomWaffen. He used to be a Libertarian but changed to Republican after Trump was elected. He participated in Unite the Right and has a long history of threatening violence. He is alleged to have strangled his ex-wife and threatened her life with a gun. He was, however, acquitted of all charges because she was terrified of testifying after threats against her life from him and from other people in the white nationalist movements.

He entered the Republican primary, was endorsed by the party convention, but was arrested for domestic violence the evening before votes were cast and withdrew the morning of the primary.
