Burnette appears to have stayed off the mainstream radar for the duration of the campaign, which has many locals asking who she is and how she won. “Who is Lynette Burnette?” one Reddit user posted, echoing similar queries on social media.On her campaign Facebook page, Orochena wrote, “As for Ms. Burnette, I, nor any of the other candidates whom I’ve spoken to, know anything about her. She didn’t attend city council meetings. She listed no contact information in her qualifying papers. To my knowledge she did not respond to any local media and candidate questionnaires. She did not participate in the Q&A or the local meet and greet with the rest of the candidates. I am unaware of any campaign website or platform.”
The Courier has not been successful reaching out to Burnette, but the Marietta Daily Journal spoke to her after the election. Burnette said she was not available for an interview about her platform or the issues.
Weird. But that appears to be the new Dem technique…run a horrible candidate but actually don’t even let the voters know anything about him/her/it. And if they manage to find out, tell them that they’re bigots for not wanting to vote for the less qualified candidate.
