They are expected to be flawless. Meanwhile, men with offensive histories are excused as “imperfect,” “evolving,” or “taken out of context.” The bar is not just uneven, it’s buried underground for some and raised to the sky for others. The internet is forever. Your record is forever. Your posts, your comments, your “jokes,” and your endorsements do not disappear because they become inconvenient. Poor judgment does not get scrubbed clean just because you want to move on. Voters deserve better than unquestioning loyalty. They deserve leaders with discernment. An endorsement is a matter of moral alignment. Not every candidate deserves support, and not every person with a party label represents the values we claim to uphold. Accountability is not betrayal. It’s integrity. And integrity should never be optional because not every candidate deserves support, and not every person with a party label represents the values we claim to uphold. Accountability is not betrayal. It’s integrity. And integrity should never be optional. Sincerely, A democratic, elected Jewish woman who will not be silent.

State Representative Joseph Chaplik:  Endorsement Alert Thank you Rep. Rachel Keshel @RJ4arizona for endorsing my campaign for Congress. Support from one of the most rock-solid conservatives in our state legislature is a huge boost to our momentum.

State Representative Nick Kupper: The AZ House of Reps just did something no state has ever done, we passed a bill which lets AZ voters decide if they want the state mandating their medical decisions. Every NO vote on this bill is a representative who does not want the people of AZ to have that opportunity.

State Representative John Gillette: President Trump did what is needed. The people pissed about this strike, are China , Russia and the Democrat Party. That's a clear message it was the right answer. Resign now! DEMOCRATS HATE AMERICA!

State Representative Teresa Martinez: We will miss you @JosephChaplik! But I stand by your commitment to serve your community in DC! You will make an excellent Congressman!!!!
