State Rep. Sue Scherer has stayed silent as Speaker Chris Welch faces scrutiny over his handling of sexual harassment allegations involving former State Rep. Harry Benton and his own inappropriate social media activity.

But when campaign cash is on the line, Scherer has no problem standing with him.

Mary Catherine Roberson called Aaron Ammons ‘a leader,’ but now he is facing a federal indictment. Since this is the kind of person Roberson praises, how can voters trust her judgment?
