On Saturday, Oakley City Council candidate Oleksii Chuiko shared he is being harassed by Councilmember George Fuller through a series of text messages.
According to Chuiko, he says he has been harassed through text messages over the past few weeks and it has gotten to the point where its finally crossed the line. In one of the text message, Fuller says to Chuiko, “Go back to Ukraine” while another calls him “boy”.
“You put any nationality on that statement, it is just sad to see the comments in a text message and its uncalled for. It’s not acceptable for anyone at any time to make comments like that,” explained Chuiko. “Up to this point, I wanted to run a clean campaign. But this is just unhealthy and he is a public official. It’s just unfortunate.”
The impact of the text messages is also impacting his family says Chuiko where he and his wife had a baby and now they have to worry about this type of rhetoric. He also suggests its nearly candidate harassment and intimidation.

I know little about Mr. Chuiko but I do know from Fuller’s past behavior that he is the last person who should be lecturing anyone about “integrity.” Sweep him out, Oakley voters!
Damn, It would have been so disappointing if Mr. Fuller had simply lost and faded away but thankfully he’s going to keep us all entertained right up to the election.
This is beyond disappointing and I am glad you brought this light. The political rhetoric on the national level has been terrible – but to see Mr. Fuller engage in such an unnecessarily aggressive and condescending fashion is concerning. He has had moments of questionable judgement, in my opinion, with some of his social media posts but I put it down to someone who is on occasion overly passionate for his position. THIS behavior crosses a line and has accomplished nothing aside from demonstrating an unprofessional and immature demeanor that doesn’t align with who I want to see serve our community.
Ah, another bigot.
Fuller has a history of unstable, inappropriate and unprofessional behavior. Now racist conduct. He has brought nothing but chaos and ridiculous conduct to the council. He has hurt the city of Oakley.
Hes got to go!!
What is racist about a White guy badmouthing a White guy?
