Former Miss America, Erika Harold recently announced that she is running to take the 13th Congressional District seat now held by Rodney Davis of Springfield.
So, for the upcoming 2014 mid term elections, Davis has a competitor for the 13th District seat. But one Davis supporter is not happy at all about the competition.
In his zeal to come to the support of Rodney Davis, County Chairman Jim Allen of the Montgomery County GOP made an ass of himself with a racist, email rant slamming Harold as “the love child of the D.N.C.”
The email rant was sent on June 18 and reported by Dough Ibendhal of RepublicanNewsWatch.com.
Here is the full text of the email:
From: Jim Allen
Sent: 06/18/13 10:59 PM
To: dibendahl@mail.com
Subject: 13th Congressional District replyRodney Davis will win and the love child of the D.N.C. will be back in Shitcago by May of 2014 working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires.
The truth is Nancy Pelosi and the DEMOCRAT party want this seat. So they called RINO Timmy Johnson to be their pack mule and get little queen to run.
Ann Callis gets a free ride through a primary and Rodney Davis has a battle.
The little queen touts her abstinence and she won the crown because she got bullied in school,,,boohoo..kids are cruel, life sucks and you move on..Now, miss queen is being used like a street walker and her pimps are the DEMOCRAT PARTY and RINO REPUBLICANS…These pimps want something they can’t get,,, the seat held by a conservative REPUBLICAN Rodney Davis and Nancy Pelosi can’t stand it..
Little Queenie and Nancy Pelosi have so much in common but the one thing that stands out the most.. both are FORMER QUEENS, their crowns are tarnished and time has run out on the both of them..
Many voices are already coming out against Allen’s foolish rant and Rep. Rodney Davis has already removed Allen from the Davis for Congress website.
Davis, was appointed to replace retired Congressman Tim Johnson in the 2012 elections. This appointment became necessary when Johnson decided not to run for re-election but did so after the primaries. It was too late to run a primary for the GOP nominee in the 13th District, so the state party appointed Davis to run. He won the 2012 election and went to Congress.
In this coming primary, Miss Harold is the conservative in the race while Mr. Davis represents the Illinois GOP establishment.
**UPDATE** 1PM, June 20
Looks like Mr. Allen bowed to the pressure and has resigned as the Chairman of the Montgomery County GOP.
