Idaho congressman Russ Fulcher quietly divorced prior to election [View all]
BOISE – New Idaho congressman Russ Fulcher and his wife, Kara, divorced in September after she cited his “acts of adultery.”
At the time, Fulcher was running for Idaho’s 1st District congressional seat, after winning a hard-fought, seven-way GOP primary in May with 43.1 percent of the vote. But the divorce, filed in Ada County, escaped public attention during the campaign.
“These are painful things for everybody. It’s personal; it’s painful,” Fulcher said Monday. He said both he and his former wife agreed not to talk about it “for both of our sakes, because it’s personal.”
John Schroeder, Fulcher’s Boise attorney, said Russ and Kara Fulcher had issued a joint statement, saying, “The couple acted jointly and resolved the matter in a way that was private, amicable and respectful.”

I wonder if the election would have had a different outcome if the voters knew that he was an adulterer?
