* My own opinion is that if the alleged victim didn’t want this issue to go public then Heitman was right to respect those wishes. The HRO apparently disagrees…
Following reports that State Rep. Jessica Dixon Heitman acknowledged seeing “red flags” while working for disgraced former State Rep. Harry Benton, the House Republican Organization is releasing two new ads highlighting her silence.
“Families deserve the full truth about Jessica Dixon Heitman,” said Mark Cavers, Political Director for the House Republican Organization. “She admits she saw ‘red flags’ and concerning behavior in Harry Benton’s office, yet she stayed silent. Now, after Benton has resigned in disgrace, she’s trying to rewrite history. That is political damage control, not integrity or leadership. If she wouldn’t speak up when it mattered most, why should voters trust her now?”
The ads will begin running on Facebook today through the end of the week.
