Santos refuses to resign ahead of expulsion
Santos refuses to resign. This underscores one of the main reasons that I believe political candidates should share a background check with the public BEFORE the elections. Santos refusing to resign is making it painfully clear that is it very difficult to remove someone from office once elected. The Senate has not yet expelled him and he’s been in office almost a year. Elections are for removing people from office, but how long does the public have to suffer until the next election? Not only did Santos falsify his resume in numerous ways, but even when caught red-handed, he is refusing to resign. The details are in the AP article below.
This could happen in any elected office-it does happen and it also happens when folks are appointed to various government boards and committees. I won’t focus on those here, but there’s a situation in Texas now where a sex education committee member was found to have a history of charges relating to…prostitution. The public deserves to know that people are who they say they are. Only a background check by a certified, federally compliant company can reveal this. The Peopletrail background check offered through Transaprency In Politics is guaranteed to be accurate and FCRA compliant. Be careful who you vote for. Get the facts BEFORE they’re elected.
