Jon Zahm, the Republican candidate for Henry County clerk/recorder, has threatened to file an ethics charge against County Clerk Barbara M. Link for allegedly disclosing information.
Zahm made the accusation in a Dec. 8 Facebook post in which he alleges Link or an associate told a county board member that he had requested a copy of that member’s precinct committee petition. As a result, Zahm wrote, that board member threatened him in a phone call.
“Perhaps if this weak committeeman had 10 valid signatures, he could run again,” Zahm wrote. “But he only has eight.”
