Incident Overview
On Monday, October 20, 2025, at approximately 11:10 AM EST, Team Bournes campaign materials were found missing from a designated display pole in a public commons area. This marked the second confirmed removal of flyers from this location, indicating a deliberate attempt to disrupt youth-led civic engagement.
Live Update: Escalation Confirmed
As of 12:00 PM EST, the damage has escalated. Three additional Team Bournes flyers have been removed from the same location. This brings the total confirmed damage to:
-
5 flyers removed
-
$55 per flyer
-
Total damage: $275
No other materials from any other group or organization were affected. This confirms a pattern of targeted interference against Team Bournes alone. Given prior screenshots showing intent to remove materials—despite clear warnings—this incident now qualifies as targeted civic disruption.
