It’s also a law that’s been on the books years, and last modified in 1995. It’s a common sense law. Candidates should not be able to hide past indiscretions with a name change. It has nothing to do with trans issues or dead names.
You don’t get to change your first name my marriage, and generally, records are not sealed so people can find out their maiden name. Changing your name via court order can be sealed and often involves changing both first and last names.
Except there’s no place on candidate forms to put it, it’s not written on any of the lists of candidates requirements, and has never been recently enforced. She wasn’t hiding her name, she literally didn’t know she needed to because it wasn’t listed anywhere. It’s like if you ran for office but got rejected at the last minute because you didn’t disclose all your addresses from the last 15 years, despite there not being an official place to actually do that.
People are framing this as some anti-trans law, when that has nothing to do with the original law. In 1995, 99.9% of people had no idea what a deadname is.

And yet getting married and changing your name without disclosure is fine.

She also directly said she agrees with the law.
