Article here. Excerpt:

'An Allegheny County judge granted a temporary restraining order in late 2016 against Shannon Edwards, who announced Wednesday she's running for Congress, after her husband accused her of drunkenly attacking him and threatening to kill him, court records show.

Edwards, 33, of Lawrenceville is a psychologist who reportedly had an affair with former Republican Rep. Tim Murphy, who resigned in October.

Edwards announced her intention to campaign as a Republican for Congress on the steps of the Allegheny County Courthouse, a move that surprised GOP officials who said they weren't aware she was considering a run.

Edwards' husband, Jesse Sally, an osteopathic doctor specializing in sports medicine, has been seeking a divorce in a court case that is now sealed.'

... to attract such sleazy people? Feminists have been asserting that female pols are very likely, if not categorically guaranteed, to be "better" than male pols, in particular in their personal lives.

AND YET, tales of The Vile One throwing shit at Bill in domestic rages and fucking her Secret Service guards on airplanes are open secrets across the nation's capital. And she is the reference American female pol.

I wonder if pols are so sleazy in other countries? Alas I suspect the phenomenon is not geo-specific.
