This statement from Randi Shade on the Rick Culleton-financed TV ads slamming Jennifer Kim and Lee Leffingwell, and supporting Jason Meeker and herself:
“I’ve been made aware today that Mr. Rick Culleton, the owner of Discount Electronics, has begun airing television commercials which are critical of Jennifer Kim and which advocate for my candidacy. I want to make clear that I have never met with or talked to Mr. Culleton about my campaign, and have no previous association with him. Mr. Culleton did make an unsolicited online contribution to my campaign on Wednesday night, and while I appreciate his support and advocacy, I am in no way involved in his effort and have not received any notification from him regarding any of his independent expenditures.”
Not entirely surprisng, as Shade’s campaign consultant, Mark Nathan, is also – can ya guess? – Lee Lefffingwell’s.
My brain hurts.
