Missy Cotter Smasal
Smasal is facing a lawsuit from a former campaign staffer
A member of Missy Cotter Smasal’s congressional campaign staff has filed a lawsuit against her asking to be paid for the time that he worked for her. Smasal ran as a Democrat and lost in Virginia’s Second Congressional District to Rep. Jen Kiggans in November.
Dawann Steagall said he was paid for his work in September but never received money for working in October and November.
In his text messages with Smasal’s campaign manager Brenna Crombie in November, Steagall asked her if the pay situation had been resolved.
Crombie responded by saying, “No unfortunately [to be honest] Missy is holding about 5 people’s pay hostage right now…”
