Arizona Congressional Candidate Says She Was Raped While Repairing Campaign Sign
She says the attack left her unconscious and prompted an ongoing sheriff’s investigation that has not identified suspects.
- Bernadette Greene-Placentia, Democratic candidate for Arizona's 8th Congressional District, reported being sexually assaulted while repairing campaign signs near Sun City on a Friday morning just after 2 a.m.
- The candidate performed late-night sign repairs to avoid daytime heat and traffic when an attacker struck her over the head, causing her to lose consciousness; the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office is investigating.
- Greene-Placentia spent two days isolated before disclosing the assault to campaign staff on Sunday and her husband the following day, then reported it to sheriff's deputies two weeks later.
- Running against Republican Representative Abe Hamadeh, Greene-Placentia decided to speak publicly, stating, "I didn't feel like I could keep saying that if I weren't also fighting for women that are victims of sexual assault."
- Expressing resolve despite trauma, Greene-Placentia told her campaign team, "I want a fucking rematch," while vowing to encourage other survivors to seek support as she continues challenging Hamadeh.
