The Magnolia Tribune reports:
During the 2022 congressional campaign, Cassidy’s residency, voting history, and campaign rhetoric all drew scrutiny. Cassidy said he has resided in Mississippi since 2016 but changed his voter registration approximately a year prior once he was off active duty from the U.S. Navy. He said he returned to Pensacola, Florida to vote during those years before changing his voter registration to Mississippi, adding that he voted in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections in Florida while residing in Mississippi.
Over the course of the 2022 race, Cassidy made statements that raised eyebrows, such as proposing the creation of a maternal leave program with five years of benefits, wanting the government to provide newlyweds with a $20,000 wedding gift to be paid back if the couple divorced, and having the government give married citizens a $250/month stipend for children under 10 and $500/month for children 10-17. After receiving backlash, Cassidy’s team scrubbed the candidate’s website.
