Chavez burned big time by Berry's response.

According to the Journal, negative campaigning shifted into
high gear when Marty Chavez, in a news release, criticized
the Berry campaign for renting office space from RJ Berry's
business.

Berry offered that the only reason he was paying himself rent was to not run afoul of campaign financing rules about donations.

Berry had addressed the issue before it became an issue by donating the rent he received to charity; a practice he began before the slimy attack was even contemplated.



This speaks directly to Marty Chavez' (lack of) character and, hopefully, will not be missed or misunderstood by undecided voters.
