Dear Prudence,
I just found out that my ex-boyfriend is running for state
legislature. I have potentially damaging information about him that he
told me himself while we were dating and was not ashamed for others to
know. I believe voters need to hear. My ex used to work in the porn
industry. So far, he's been leaving that fact out of his official bio.
Do I anonymously get the information out to the public? He was a
terrible boyfriend, he lied continuously, cheated on me, etc. That he
used to work in an industry that I believe takes advantage of young
women and promotes harmful values I think is something voters should
know. I truly feel that he would be a bad elected official and is only
doing it for personal ego reasons. Is it wrong for me to want to share
the truth?
