| Description | A serial campaigner running for Congress in Arkansas is under investigation in Alaska for fraud, after allegedly pocketing money from a fundraiser for a wounded veteran.
Drew Pritt announced on Thursday that he is running for Congress in Arkansas’ 2nd District, the seat held by Republican Tim Griffin. Pritt, a Democrat whose website expired last week, in 2006 said he was running for Lt. Governor of Arkansas, but never filed the paperwork. He also lost a campaign for the Little Rock School Board.
But Pritt has something of a checkered past outside of his failed runs for office, which have become something of a joke in Arkansas. The LGBT blog Bent Alaska reports that Pritt has several aliases, and recently went by “Caleb Pritt” in Alaska, as well as several variations of his drag name “Diedra.” |
