D.C. Council member Robert White is calling on fellow member Brooke Pinto to step down from the race for D.C.’s congressional seat, after her campaign website posted opposition research that included information about White’s family and his home address.
“I’m shocked at it,” White, an at-large member of the council, told 海角精品黑料, saying it comes “in a time when lawmakers and their families are being attacked in their home.”
Both are running to replace D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is retiring after 36 years in office. The Democratic primary takes place June 16.
White first learned of the document Monday evening, when he posted聽聽calling on Pinto to “immediately withdraw from this race.” White also made the call in a video on social media.
Sometime Tuesday, the website replaced the original 67-page document with聽. The pages with the personal information were missing from the later version.
“I have young kids, and she posts my address, pictures of my house,” he said. “It’s put my family in danger. It’s jeopardized people’s lives, just for politics.”
The document includes more opposition research, delving into White’s political background, campaign finance funds and his stance on policing in the city.
Some of the document’s missing pages also dug into the professional and personal backgrounds of White’s father, his brother and his wife.
“I’ve never seen anything like this in D.C. politics, where someone runs over someone’s family for politics,” White said.
Pinto and her campaign did not immediately respond to 海角精品黑料’s requests for comment, and White said he had not heard from Pinto, who represents D.C.’s Ward 2 on the council.
White said the edited document does not change his initial reaction.
“I think she has to withdraw. I don’t see how you attempt to represent all of D.C. on a national scale, when you have such poor judgment,” he said. “And this is beyond a bad decision. 鈥� I don’t think that she can represent the entire city. And frankly, there are a lot of people in her current ward of Ward 2, that I don’t think she is able to represent anymore.”
Another missing page from the document, on the research methodology, said that the report was based on a review of online sources and public records. It also noted that the sources “may be inaccurate or incomplete.”
