Council Candidate Faces Harassment Accusations | Raleigh News

A Raleigh City Council candidate is under fire after his campaign’s Facebook account sent aggressive, threatening messages to a local Democratic Party member — including phrases like “Am at your door” — following a private DM. The candidate, Marc Scruggs, has remained silent despite multiple inquiries, while his treasurer claimed he was on vacation. Scruggs, running against incumbent Christina Jones in the November election, is touting public safety and police pay — but his campaign’s online behavior has sparked outrage, especially after Jones accused him of equating her Gaza ceasefire stance with supporting “terrorists.” LaFond, the recipient of the messages, says they stopped late Tuesday and won’t involve police unless more incidents occur — but the controversy has already cast a shadow over the District E race.
