Aftab Pureval , a Democratic House candidate in Ohio, reported to police on Monday the “menacing by stalking” of his fiancée, Whitney Whitis, outside her Cincinnati home. Since the Chabot campaign has already questioned whether Pureval lives inside the district, the stalking and harassment of Whitis outside her home immediately raised the prospect that a Chabot campaign tracker had gotten out of hand. Chabot campaign spokesman Cody Rizzuto denied that the campaign was involved with the people who had harassed Whitis. “No campaign in their right mind would engage in that kind of behavior,” Rizzuto told the Business Courier. “He’s become a reckless partisan, and he’s a central reason why politics is so dysfunctional in Washington, D.C.”The story has been updated to reflect new information provided by a Chabot campaign spokesman.
