In the past, we often found out relevant information about people after they were elected to congress. By then it was to late to change our minds and vote for someone else. It is often difficult to dig the dirt or at least the truth about people when they are running. They are often less than truthful. Would it help if this forum started a sticky thread with each state listed. In each state the names of people running for congress would be listed with relevant information posted about each candidate as it became available? I would really like to know their professional affiliations. For example, if it is an attorney, I would like to know how much of his or her practice was dedicated to tort cases. If it is a judge running, I want to know how he or she decided relevant cases.
In a city near where I live, the citizens voted in a new female district attorney who was going to prosecute criminals and win convictions. After she was elected, it was discovered that as a prosecuting attorney in Dallas, she often made deals with criminals. The first to spill the beans on the others usually got off free. She won a lot of convictions of innocent people and left the real criminals walking the streets. It's a shame that information wasn't out there when she was running for office.
