A recent article highlights the controversial past of Republican congressional candidate Elizabeth Helgelien as Election Day approaches. The article, written by Christine Halseth, details how Helgelien’s history includes infidelity, lies, and abandoning constituents during her time in office. Helgelien’s marital issues, including multiple affairs and a divorce from Halseth’s son Daniel, led to her resignation from the state senate after missing important meetings and hearings.
Following her resignation, Helgelien posed for Maxim magazine and moved to Alaska before returning to Las Vegas in 2018. Despite a failed attempt to return to the state senate, Helgelien is now running for Congress in Nevada’s 3rd congressional district. The article also highlights a tragic incident involving Halseth’s granddaughter, Sierra, who along with her boyfriend murdered Daniel in 2021. Sierra claimed abuse by her father as a motive for the murder, but evidence suggests otherwise.
Halseth expresses her hope that Helgelien will drop out of the race or that voters will reject her candidacy due to her troubled past. She questions whether someone who raised a murderer and showed a lack of remorse can effectively represent constituents in Congress. The article concludes by calling on voters to consider the character and history of candidates like Helgelien before casting their ballots on Election Day.
