Champlin City Council race: Death threats, harassment claims mar Ward 3 special election
What we know: The Ward 3 city council race has become unusually contentious, with accusations of harassment, death threats and disputes over social media activity.
Some residents have accused Tim Huttner, who is running to keep his seat, of blocking people and deleting comments on two Facebook pages he manages. Huttner acknowledged moderating content but said he only does so when people violate page or Facebook policies.
Huttner and his wife said they have received harassing phone calls and even death threats.
"We’ve had death threats to harassing phone calls to emails to leaving notes at the dais. It’s just – come on, people," he said. "This is a city race. This ain’t a presidential race. This is Ward 3. We’re in Champlin. We’re all about making common sense."
