I read the excellent investigative reporting by Mary Hynes on the candidates for Assembly District 6 (Oct. 6 Review-Journal). I don’t know if I should laugh or cry for our neighbors who live in that district. I support returning most rights to ex-felons, but this article was an eye-opener.

Democratic favorite, Jovan Jackson, has had credible allegations of Medicaid fraud and sanctions against him. He has serious past mental health issues and a violent criminal history. He says it was all because of being given the wrong drug by a doctor. He served two years in prison.

The Republican, Nephi ” Khaliki” Oliva, was arrested in 2024 on felony charges involving guns, and there is a whiff of racism in his past public behavior.

The nonpartisan candidate, Walter “Boo” Jones III, who might have forgotten to register as a Democrat, has charged our ex-felon with not living in District 6, as required by law.

Imagine this choice under Question 3 (ranked-choice voting) on this year’s ballot. Would it be helpful?

Everyone is entitled to due process under the Constitution. Donald Trump did not give Kilmar Abrego Garcia due process before kidnapping him and sending him to a prison in El Salvador.
