A teenage candidate for the Kansas House who admitted to engaging in revenge porn and harassing girls online has reversed his decision to abandon his campaign.
A Democrat partly leader immediately suggested Tuesday that the House wouldn’t seat the candidate if he won. Aaron Coleman, 19, of Kansas City, Kansas, said in a tweeted statement that many of the people who voted for him in the primary over veteran state Rep. Stan Frownfelter urged him not to drop out.
Coleman prevailed by 14 votes. Frownfelter already has launched a write-in campaign for November but House Democrat Leader Tom Sawyer said he thinks it's unlikely the House would seat Coleman.
