George Papadopoulos is running for Congress in California
Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with individuals tied to Russia during the 2016 campaign, is running for Congress in California.
I don't think he has a chance of winning but who knows
Katie should run again after all this affair crap blows over.
As we can see from pcgeek's response, Democrats are always guilty of much worse things than Republicans, even when there is no evidence proving it.
She didn't resign because of revenge porn, she resigned because of allegations of having a relationship with a staff member, the new rules passed because of the huge wave known as the me-too movement.

i would think trump is highly unpopular in CA and anyone associated with him would be too, and a district that just elected a D at that.
Clinton did that for the democrats some time back, the republicans are just playing catch up.
Do you just play cut and paste. Please explain how what you wrote makes any sense when the seat this guy is running for is one vacated because the Rep had an extramarital affair.
tweaker2 said: If Katie was a Repub she'd still be in office simply because her president set a precedence for their party such that adultery and extramarital affairs are no big deal, nothing to make a fuss over.
I'm not sure how this applies. I know that the GOP if often referred to as the "family values" party, but every single time I've seen that reference it's been made in a disparaging manner by someone on the left. It may be part of the GOP platform, I don't know as I haven't read that.
I don't know why Katie resigned, I never claimed that knowledge. I could speculate, but I don't have any evidence. That decision was hers to make, so I assume there was some compelling reason to do it. It could have been simple embarrassment.
If doing a thing and getting punished for it is 'legitimizing', then Nixon legitimized corruption for Republicans back in '72. Care to comment?

The House Ethics Committee announced Wednesday a preliminary inquiry into Rep. Katie Hill, D-Calif., over allegations of a sexual relationship with a member of her staff. She denies the allegation.
"Allegations that I have been involved in a relationship with Mr. Kelly are absolutely false," Hill said in a statement. "I am saddened that the deeply personal matter of my divorce has been brought into public view and the vindictive claims of my ex have now involved the lives and reputations of unrelated parties."
However, the allegation was enough for the House Ethics Committee to announce a preliminary investigation on Wednesday, citing the 2018 rules change.
