If everything is above board, then no one will object if these facts are made as widely known as possible.
Much of this background information is available on the internet if you search the names of individuals and companies.

In response to Comment#1, “are you endorsing her?”
To be honest, I haven’t even thought about it. I was simply posting the Press Release.
I agree with Leigh (Comment #2) that Sue is qualified. It looks to me that she would do an excellent job. But I need time to absorb this news and find out more…so that if I did endorse, it would mean something …

Nice to see someone with the proper qualifications running, unlike Audra Strickland.
