This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Jesus Christ did Erika's mother write this? I'm changing the wording to better reflect reality.

I feel that this line: "she and her siblings allegedly were occasionally subjected to taunts and threats due to their biracial ethnicity while growing up" edges against the WP:NPOV guidelines, so I changed it slightly and added a reference. Hope you don't mind. Fat Hobbit 19:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Russian ancestry

Where do we get the claim that Erika's mother had Russian ancestry? The sourced article only states that her mother was of Afircan-American and Native American descent. This article [1] does throw in the Russian ancestry, but I am afraid they might have used the Wikipedia page as a source, so I wonder if we might be getting circular sourcing involved.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:16, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me like, if the claim in the article is true, one of Harold's grandparents was of Welsh and German descent (most likely her paternal grandfather), one was of Greek origin (most likely her father's mother, I just don't see Harold as a Greek name), one was African-American and Native American and one was Russian. So I think it would be nice if we could identify which grandparent had which ethnicity.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:16, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New InfoBox Photo

Any thoughts on switching the photo in the InfoBox to the photo located in the section "Politics"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mpen320 (talk • contribs) 08:20, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it looks better, so I think I'll do that. Good idea! InedibleHulk (talk) 14:46, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
