It seems that Velda Jones-Potter couldn’t leave well enough alone. After spending a week being pilloried over her “consulting” contract with the City of Wilmington, a contract that was indirectly voted on by her husband, her campaign has now sent out a mailer listing her endorsements and including pictures of Governor Jack Markell.
Problem is, a couple of the people listed as endorsing her didn’t do it. In fact, they are pretty upset. Rep Daryl Scott and Sussex County Register of Wills Greg Fuller have not endorsed Velda and did not give her or her campaign permission to use their names. In addition, the Governor has not endorsed Velda and did not give her or her campaign permission to use his photo in any of her mailings or on her website.
So what’s up Velda? Was this a mistake or are you deliberately trying to mislead the voters? Will you take the blame for this or will you blame it on someone else? Time to fess up, Velda.
