Dr. Stephen Farnsworth is a Political Science Professor at the University of Mary Washington. He says voters decide how they feel about it. “What is happening in this race happens in a lot of congressional races around the country. People who are connected will bring a lot of money to the table. Voters may find that acceptable. It’s legal. Voters may not find it acceptable. It’s up to them to decide,” said Dr. Farnsworth.
