Redmont Candidate Shocked to Learn Illegal Campaigning Is Illegal

A Redmont political candidate expressed disbelief after being prosecuted for allegedly campaigning in locations where campaigning is expressly prohibited. The candidate maintained that the laws were "more like suggestions" and argued that asking for votes "doesn't really count as campaigning if you're being friendly." The candidate has since pledged to fight the charges, insisting that being held accountable for breaking campaign rules is "a dangerous precedent for future campaigns."
