(Community Matters) Earlier this week the Austin American Stateman reported on Jennifer Kim’s condemnation of Randi Shade for support from community leaders including Gary Farmer, Brian Cassidy, Pete Winstead, Don Martin and Paul Bury. It also noted many of them supported Jennifer for her first term, and that she sought their support for this election
“It’s hypocritical. She asked for our support and when she found out she would not get it, she changed positions and we went from being great guys to being the bad guys,'” said Farmer, a toll road proponent who leads the Opportunity Austin program for the Chamber of Commerce.
David Armbrust of Armbrust & Brown said Kim also asked him to donate to and raise money for her this year before he backed Shade.
Burnt Orange Report reports that Jennifer tried to hire the lobbyist, campaign consultant she now condemns Randi for hiring. There’s even an audio tape of a voice message from Jennifer for Mark Nathan. here
