Based upon the numerous revelations regarding the background of Representative Daniel Gordon, we at Tiverton Citizens for Change believe he can no longer effectively represent the District 71 and urge him to immediately resign his house seat. The serious questions surrounding Mr Gordon’s character indicate that he has lost the trust of those who elected him and we call on him to honor his pledge to resign if requested by his constituency.
His misrepresentation of his military background has called his veracity into question and along with it his continued ability to govern with the people’s trust that our community expects and deserves. This situation has become untenable and severely limits his ability to represent the citizens of District 71.
While we understand that struggling with his past and alcoholism may be difficult for Mr. Gordon, we also believe he is well advised to deal with these issues out of the public eye and without the rigors that public leadership demands, and wish him well on his path to restoring order to his personal life.
