Shane Krauser's Mayoral Bid Clouded by Son's Link to Teen Gang Video

In the midst of his campaign for mayor of Gilbert, Shane Krauser faces unexpected scrutiny following the emergence of a video featuring his son with members of the controversial "Gilbert Goons" teen gang. Krauser, who has vocally criticized local handling of teen violence and gang activity, was surprised to see his son in a July 4 video that captured a confrontation but no violence.

The video depicts a group of teens, including known Goons members, in a verbal altercation with a couple over fireworks. Krauser has addressed the incident, emphasizing his son's non-involvement with the gang's notorious activities and his immediate parental intervention upon discovering the video.

This development unfolds as Krauser, alongside Vice Mayor Scott Anderson and newcomer Natalie DiBernardo, competes for the Gilbert mayoral seat in a campaign that has heavily featured the issue of teen violence.
