Woodford County GOP Chairman Jim Booth says he hasn’t met the man. Neither have we.
You’d think he’d get a starring role in the (valid) critiques about downstate Dems being Chicago based after this:
His whereabouts are a legitimate campaign issue for a couple of reasons. Since his engagement to a Guatemalan lawmaker, a former dictator’s daughter, Weller has sold his home in the district and bought a condominium near downtown Chicago. He also owns property in Nicaragua. His rental of an apartment above a garage in Morris meets the legal definition of residency but not the moral commitment.
Rios Montt’s daughter isn’t just a family member, but a trusted political lieutenant. Her support of her father would be one thing if it was some sort of denial about what he is about, but she is an active member of the party and key ally to her father. She is a part of the political machine that has tried to return a murderous dictator to power. That is highly relevant.
Tari has some momentum. Make sure if you are in the 11th to help with the ground game.
