Regent candidate opens up about stalking concerns

A candidate for the Nevada Board of Regents said that both she and her family have been physically stalked and harassed online.

“It has not always felt safe when I’m out trying to earn votes,” Tonia Holmes-Sutton, who is running to represent District 4, told the Review-Journal.

Holmes-Sutton did not want to give too many details about what she has experienced, stating only that she has received four online threats, and that a car has approached her and members of her family. She has paused canvassing for the moment out of fear for her safety.

The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that it received a report on Sept. 25 from Holmes-Sutton’s home address about a reckless driver, though said the department did not respond to the scene because the caller said the vehicle had left the area.
