Ben Morris to Steve Scalise:
“Take Down Your Dirty Push Poll”
Slidell, LA – Mayor Ben Morris today directly chastised Steve Scalise and demanded that he pull down push poll calls being made in the last several days.
“The voters of this district deserve a candidate who is willing to put his name on his campaign’s activities and not hide behind dirty campaign tactics, lies or distortions,” stated Mayor Morris. “Candidates for public office should lead on the issue of ethics reform and anonymous push polls are the farthest thing from that.”
Ben Morris directly challenged Steve Scalise: “You say you support stronger ethics. Well, actions speak louder than words. Apologize now! Not to me but to our district and take those push poll calls down immediately.”
The Morris for Congress Campaign has received multiple recent reports of anonymous phone calls in the Slidell area that feature glowingly positive remarks about Steve Scalise and misrepresentations and lies about Ben Morris’s distinguished career as a dedicated public servant.
The technique of using so called “push-polls” is controversial and the ethically questionable polls are banned in some states.
