Texas 31st District hopeful Mary Jennings Hegar posted a video on Twitter alleging members of Rep. John Carter’s campaign team harassed Hegar and her family while trick-or-treating for Halloween by throwing candy at them. A spokesman for Carter refuted Hegar’s account of the incident and denied any wrongdoing on behalf of campaign staff and volunteers.
