NEVADA - MICHELE FIORE, CANDIDATE FOR CD 3, DOES NOT CONDONE DISHONESTY


Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, "I refuse to condone Jon Ralston's behavior"

For immediate release
April 13, 2016
Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore has released a statement regarding an invitation to be on Jon Ralston's show.
"Imprudent blogger Jon Ralston has invited me on his show to participate in a debate in the third congressional race. While nothing is more important to me than talking about the issues facing Nevadans and my plans to address them, I will not go on the show of somebody who has exhibited such hatred and contempt for me. Here are just a few of the examples of the attacks Jon has launched on me.

He displays a temper tantrum here because I’ve participated with Sam Shad’s shows and I’ve turned down numerous invites to Jon’s show.) 

I don't mind when journalists disagree with or challenge me. Reporters like Steve Sebilus and Ben Botkin are not fans of mine, however, their criticism is professional and issue based. Not petty and personal.

This coupled with the fact that despite claiming to be an objective journalist Jon has clearly picked a favorite in the CD 3 race. Jon also receives payment and support from that favorite, “Senator Roberson”


To anyone that watches his show, I apologize to you and invite you to our next pasta dinner to discuss the issues our state and nation face directly. Join me in one of the next 3 debates. I have debated my opponents in the past and look forward to doing so again in the future, in a fair and neutral setting."
