A 35-year-old man who was arrested after police reported he exposed himself in public while claiming to be campaigning for Democratic congressional candidate Janelle Stelson is at the center of a campaign dispute. The man, Chimaobim Adedayo Igbojekwe, pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, according to multiple outlets.
Stelson denies any link between her campaign and Igbojekwe. She says the campaign does not know the individual and that anyone hired goes through her, implying she would recognize him. Outlets also report new police or case records indicating he had campaign materials and asserted he worked for her, which Stelson disputes. The disagreement is framed by the coverage as part of the broader political contest between Stelson and Rep. Scott Perry in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District.
