A candidates mother, who lost custody of that candidate when she was 12 after being molested by her step-father and who would insert herself into that candidates life, disparaging her own daughter, in support of her opposition in an election says much more about mom than it does about the candidate.

"In 1978, [Donna] Arthur’s husband, Cledith “Bud” Arthur, was charged & indicted for rape. # Court documents indicate he’d engaged in sexual contact with Acton when she was less than 13 yrs old.

Court and newspaper records show he had already been indicted in…
