Susan Gaertner Q&A in wOw
Today, Women on the Web published a Q&A with 2010 gubernatorial candidate Susan Gaertner, which touched on, among other things, negative campaigning, gay marriage, and even illegal substances.
SUSAN: I’ve experienced some very negative campaigning against me. On top of that, a lot of the decisions I make as district attorney are controversial, and I’m used to criticism — either I’m too tough on the criminal or not tough enough, and ugly things can be said. So I’m very prepared for whatever is said or done during the election.
wOw: If things were getting really tough in a campaign, would you turn nasty? Would you have your campaign strategists try to dig up dirt on somebody?
SUSAN: I wouldn’t expect to. I found that when people are negatively campaigning against me, that it’s best just to keep my head up and stay out of the fray.
