Elena Parent

That’s what the AJC’s Politifact has said about the viscious and inaccurate attack made by Jill Chambers on WIN endorsed, Elena Parent.  Chambers has attacked Elena for “taking money from school children.”  She draws a tenuous line between Elena’s former law firm, Southerland Asbell, who represents the Dekalb County School Board, and individual contributions made by Elena’s colleagues who work at Southerland Asbell.  To get message out, Chambers has dropped misleading robocalls and mail to residents of the district. 

Politifact says it best:

Even among this election season’s accusations of corruption and dastardly deeds, an attack in a local state House race stands out….

Using Chambers’ reasoning, if a Sutherland lawyer bought a candy bar at a Wal-Mart, you could accuse the retailer of taking money intended for schoolchildren.

So while Chambers’ attack mailer contains some correct information, the robocall accusation against Parent is incorrect and borders on the ridiculous.

There are many reasons to send Chambers’ home, but this one takes the cake!  Help us make sure that Elena WINs on November 2nd!
