A wild feud between a rising GOP star and her late ex-husband’s mom erupted into public view on Wednesday when candidate Elizabeth Helgelien’s infuriated former mother-in-law accused the MAGA-centric Nevada politician of being a liar and an adulterer.
Daniel Halseth, Christine Halseth’s son, was stabbed to death in 2021 by the couple’s teenage daughter , Sierra Halseth, and her boyfriend, Aaron Guerrero. The pair are now serving life sentences.
In a scathing op-ed published Wednesday in The Nevada Globe , Halseth pleaded with Helgelien to drop out of the race for the state’s 3rd Congressional District “for my family’s sake, and out of respect for voters and the office she’s seeking.”
“Elizabeth raised a murderer, was forced out of office after a series of sex scandals, was caught in a series of lies, posed for lewd photographs, and has already proven to be unelectable,” Halseth wrote. “… We cannot, in good conscience, allow Elizabeth Helgelien to represent honest, decent Americans in Congress.”
