AZ Sun Times: An Arizona judge ordered the divorce case between Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ-03) and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego to be partially unsealed, ruling the decision to permanently make the proceedings private was improper, the conservative media outlet behind the legal action to reveal the divorce records reported Friday.

Ruben Gallego was given 15 days to propose specific redactions to the divorce records, and the outlet reported, “The judge indicated that he had reviewed the file and did not believe that much if any of its contents should remain private.”
The Free Beacon reported that it argued, “the unsealing of the divorce records is in the public interest given that Gallego and his wife both currently hold public office and that Gallego, who is running in what is likely to be one of the most hotly contested Senate races of the cycle, is seeking a promotion.”
The Democrat and his wife, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, separated in 2016. Kate Gallego was reportedly nine months pregnant with Ruben Gallego’s child when the couple announced their split on December 21, 2016.
An ad detailing the circumstances of Ruben Gallego’s breakup was released by the influential National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) last November, with the commercial characterizing the Democrat as a “deadbeat dad” who “abandoned his wife when she was nearly nine months pregnant, then married a D.C. lobbyist.” more
Gallego is so bad even other Democrats think he is a scum.
Is this the guy who wanted to nuke Americans?
I seem to recall that Obama had the divorce records of his opponent in IL released, resulting in Obama getting his promotion.
As always, it’s OK when the Dims do it.
Tanggor, I remember that too . The Republican contender withdrew from the race because it was a messy divorce and he was trying to keep the record SEALED to protect his daughter from scandal. Republican Alan Keyes then ran but didn’t gain traction since “rising star” Obama and his Marxist backers went on to “fundamentally change” the USA …
