Schiller Responds to Alleged Whistleblower's Unsubstantiated Claims

Voters have a Choice. Schiller is Ready to Represent CD-01 with Dignity.

For the past two years, congressional candidate Rebekah Jones has continuously made claims that she was asked to present manipulated COVID data online and was fired for refusing to do so. The alleged whistleblower’s sails were deflated yesterday when NBC obtained the Inspector General’s (IG) report, which found “insufficient evidence” for her accusations.

Peggy Schiller, Jones’ Democratic primary opponent, is relieved that this information is coming to light. “Jones has fundraised and campaigned on these claims for several months. NBC’s reporting of the IG’s findings gives me hope that we can move past the “whistleblowing heroics” and begin focusing on the real issues that impact the First Congressional District.” Schiller firmly believes that CD-01 deserves representation from someone who is equipped to make sound decisions without the distraction of legal complications and charges. “It is time for the First Congressional District to support a candidate who they can trust not to be impulsive, headline-seeking, or accused of criminal behavior. Someone who will responsibly advocate on their behalf, not for personal or financial gain.”

“You can dig all you want, but you won’t find skeletons in my closet,” says Schiller. “I’ve been called boring because I’m not in the headlines everyday, but that is because I have been busy putting in years of hard work advocating for others. I have committed myself to a life of service, and I hope to have the opportunity to represent the voters of the First Congressional District.”

Schiller has watched as some have portrayed Jones as a hero for the past two years. She now hopes that these same people will peel back the “whistleblower curtain” to reveal the full story of both candidates’ credentials and platforms. “There are several issues that Jones and I agree on. However, character is also on the ballot and character matters,” says Schiller. “I am the most qualified, most experienced, and most ethical candidate in the race. Our district deserves real representation from someone who will put the voters’ needs first,” says Schiller. The Democratic primary for the First Congressional District will be held on August 23, 2022. “In less than two months, voters will begin to receive ballots in the mail if requested. The strongest voice a constituent has is their vote,” says Schiller. “Whether through the mail, early voting, or in person on Primary Day, we hope to see everyone exercising their right to vote.”
