An Allegheny County judge granted a temporary restraining order in late 2016 against Shannon Edwards, who announced Wednesday she's running for Congress, after her husband accused her of drunkenly attacking him and threatening to kill him, court records show.
Edwards, 33, of Lawrenceville is a psychologist who reportedly had an affair with former Republican Rep. Tim Murphy, who resigned in October.
Edwards announced her intention to campaign as a Republican for Congress on the steps of the Allegheny County Courthouse, a move that surprised GOP officials who said they weren't aware she was considering a run.
Edwards' husband, Jesse Sally, an osteopathic doctor specializing in sports medicine, has been seeking a divorce in a court case that is now sealed.
In a petition seeking a restraining order dated Oct. 31, 2016, Sally wrote that Edwards had arrived home about 10:30 p.m. after drinking alcohol with neighbors and grabbed his head and pushed it into a pillow.
He said he left the room and she followed him around the house. When he returned to the bedroom, she put her face “inches away” from his face and told him, “I'm going to kill you,” according to the petition, which said the two were living in the same house in Mt. Washington but sleeping in separate bedrooms.

I don’t understand how the Republican Party doesn’t have more control over who runs on their ticket. This woman is obviously trouble; not sure why she’s running other than for attention.
Her whole two day campaign shows that she has serious immaturity issues. She may be passionate and want to serve the country but she has a lot of work to do personally before she can serve her future constituents.
1. She never let the local GOP know that she’s thinking about running for the republican nod? Who does that?
2. Her only claim to fame is fooling around with a married man while being married herself.
3. Per the PFA, she apparently likes to drink is prone to violence and has made threats.
Even if everything in the PFA is false, it’s obvious that she’s going through a bitter divorce right now. Who thinks that with a bitter divorce swirling around them that is a good time to run for public office?
She is passionate; fiery.
Male abuse doesn’t count. /S
Read the article. Does anyone know how to write a declarative sentence anymore? Is she only going to run on the steps of the courthouse??
