Some Candidates Will Lie & Deceive to Get Elected By: Victoria Seaman / Victoria’s Corner Thankfully another election cycle is almost over. It becomes harder and harder to watch TV or read the mail during election season. Candidates spend millions of dollars trying to destroy the character of their opponents rather than convincing voters why we should elect them. Why do voters continually vote for candidates who operate in this manner? One race is particularly hard to stomach - the attack ads against Republican Congressional District 3 candidate, Danny Tarkanian. Danny has run for office before. Each time he has run, his opponents have spent millions of dollars in untrue character attack ads to beat him. Instead of quitting and allowing these liars and cheaters to go unchecked, Danny has fought back. Danny sued his first opponent for defamation and the jury ruled the attack ads against him were untrue and defamatory. Incredulously, his 2016 opponent ran the same attack ads, so Danny sued her too. The judge in the initial hearing, ruled Danny was going to likely win this case also. Fast forward to 20<strong>18</strong>, and Danny’s current opponent, Susie Lee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) are running the same ads. Some people have no shame. To fully understand how corrupt our political system is, it is necessary to understand what is being said about Danny as opposed to the actual truth. FIRST LIE: Danny Tarkanian was involved in telemarketing fraud which stole millions from seniors. TRUTH: Twenty-four years ago, Danny, as an attorney, prepared standard corporate documents for Publisher Dan, Victoria with Danny Tarkanian some clients. Danny had no further involvement with the company and actually left the practice of law to coach basketball with his father. Years later, these individuals were arrested for telemarketing fraud. SECOND LIE: Danny Tarkanian took $700,000 from a children’s charity. TRUTH: Danny founded the Tarkanian Basketball Academy which teaches young kids, (many of whom are at risk) the life lessons learned through playing sports. Danny organized, developed, and ran this program for 15 years. Danny was compensated an average salary of $46,000 per year, which was approved by the Board of Directors. Danny didn’t ‘take’ anything. He earned it over a 15 year time span. If a candidate lies to us to get elected, we should not be surprised when they lie to us once they are in office. Let’s put a stop to this. Vote against any candidate who will lie and deceive just to get elected.

Unfortunately the evening was a disaster. The “chef” dropped the meal off in cold aluminum containers and the food was beyond awful. Fast forward 3 years and once again Dan made a bid at another silent auction - you guessed it, dinner cooked in your home, this time by Chef Kristina. Wow, what a difference this time! Chef Kristina arrived at our home an hour before dinner time and began her mastery in our kitchen whipping up an awesome meal. To say the night was a great success would be putting it mildly! Thank you, Chef Kristina! To say we recommend her would be an understatement. Check it out for yourself and contact her at: chefkristinaelmido@gmail.com.
