With only 22 days until Election Day, tensions between county incumbent Das Williams and challenger Laura Capps have escalated into an all-out political war.
Anti-Capps mailers and radio messages are flying around the 1st District in response to what Williams’s supporters call a “hypocritic campaign” by Capps. The three consultants behind the anti-Capps crusade — Democrats Mollie Culver and Tyler Gibson, and Republican-turned-no-party-preference Cory Bantilan — have formed a pro-Williams independent expenditure committee.
“I got involved because I am tired of hearing Laura misrepresent the facts about Das and his record,” said Bantilan about his PAC. “One of the behaviors I dislike most is hypocrisy, and her campaign is displaying it on a regular basis.”
