Recently in our race for Lt. Gov.
one of my republican opponents
unfortunately has had accusations of
sexual harassment lobbed against him
from a long time lobbyist under the Gold Dome.
He was cleared of these charges
by a committee that investigated
in fact using and outside investigator
But the AJC yesterday, Atlanta Journal Constitution released information that I previously didn't know
which is that Shafer made thirty thousand dollars in campaign contributions to the legislatures
who sat on that committee
take a minute to let that sink in.
The committee that was tasked
with determining whether or not these
allegations were true
the members of that committee received
$30,000 in campaign contributions
from the subject of their investigation.
and look we live in an era where people are distrustful of government
they're jaded
they don't believe their elected officials
represent them and their best interest
They don't turn up at the poles because of
that and look, this is why.
This is exactly what makes people question the effectiveness of our government.
and the thing is we need government to be effective
there are families across this state who are counting on our elected officials to get the job done.
They're counting on the elected officials in Georgia to put their interests first.
and it's impossible to believe that they can do that when this kind of nonsense goes on.
$30,000 in contributions to people investigating whether or not you sexually harassed a career lobbyist under the Gold Dome.
Unacceptable. Demand better. Ask David Shafer for an explanation.
