Failed candidate still faces charges

A bail jumping case filed against defeated state representative candidate Casey Gray in Wisconsin has been dismissed, but two cases accusing him of violating restraining orders remain pending.

Online court records from the Walworth County Circuit Court detail that Gray, 40, was in court because his attorney, Jonathan Carver Smith, filed a motion last month to withdraw from his case for “failing substantially to fulfill an obligation” to him.

Gray had two restraining orders filed against him in Walworth County in 2018 and the following years authorities alleged he violated both of them and charged him with bail jumping.

Court records show the restraining order cases remain open, but the judge in the bail jumping case dismissed that case after the Wisconsin Court of Appeals declined to review an appeal that had been filed.

(Odessa American)

In typical Republican fashion, Gray states that the Odessa American is a “leftist rag” and a “dying rag of a newspaper.” I don't recall anyone else calling the Odessa American a "leftist rag" before.

Gray ran against District 81 State Rep. Brooks Landgraf in the Republican primary March 1.
