Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, wrote Monday that his Twitter account was suspended and then restored as new owner Elon Musk confirmed he would look into the incident—just about a week out from the 2022 midterm elections.

“Twitter has blocked my account from speaking truth with one week left until the election,” Finchem wrote on Facebook, including a photo that shows that his Twitter account appeared to be locked. “They are trying to put their thumb on the scales of this election. Tag Elon Musk and tell him to unban me right now.”
