Shellie Flockhart, who said a Democrat was putting children in danger, pleads guilty to child endangerment

In a campaign ad, a Republican woman issued a dire warning about Sarah Trone Garriott, the Democratic candidate in one of Iowa’s most competitive districts.

“When it comes to our children, Sarah is just dangerous,” said Shellie Flockhart, a Dallas Center city councilwoman identified in the ad by her first name.
