Chris Janicek: Problems get fixed when people vote

Janicek says if you can vote, you need to go out and make your voice heard. "In this state, I hear often that my vote doesn't count," said Janicek. "It is because you don't show up to vote. Every vote that counts are people who show up and do the voting. We win elections when people vote. Problems get fixed when people vote. I need everyone to get registered, I need you to show up and I need you to vote."

Chris Janicek: Apologized for sexist texts to woman staffer, won't withdraw

A Senate candidate doubled down on his promise to stay in the race, despite growing pressure to drop out after he sent sexually vulgar text messages to a campaign staffer. Chris Janicek said in a statement that he won't withdraw from the race. "I am a proud Democrat," Janicek said. "Now is the time for you to realize that I am not going away." Janicek said he repeatedly apologized to the woman. He has argued that, because he's openly gay, his comments shouldn't count as sexual harassment.
