NELSON: Get a clear picture

I have known Jai Nelson for 10 years and called her regarding some accusations in a recent letter to the editor, as the comments appeared deceptive. Jai confirmed the letter was a much distorted picture of her Primary campaign. She said she did have to miss one forum, as she was ill and asked this be announced along with her contact information. On one other occasion, there were conflicting events and Jai made the decision to go to an event in Post Falls. The choice was campaign strategy, pure and simple.

During the General campaign, I know Jai is attending as many events as she is able all while working to support her family. Just last Friday; she was in Spirit Lake, Athol, Rathdrum, Hayden, Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene. I am also aware she has multiple events scheduled right up to Election Day. Jai stated she is more than willing to answers any questions, and her contact information is on her website at JaiNelson.com.

Jai is showing to be the person I have always known, hard working, focused on the issues and someone with great integrity. I admire how she is able to stay focused and committed even while her opponents are slinging mud and rocks.

Jai Nelson is exactly the type of person I want representing us at the county.
