“I am proud of the many years of honorable service I’ve been fortunate to provide for the residents of Wichita and particularly District 3.  I should not have attended the meeting that has become widely discussed and frequently misunderstood. When publicly questioned about that person’s potential involvement, I did not lie and instead stated I had no knowledge if he did. I never, at any level, had any involvement in the scripting, directing, editing, or distribution of the television ad in question. Nor did I even know of its existence until after it was produced. I look forward to honorably completing my term in office as the City Councilmember representing District 3.  I anxiously look forward to being able to fully, completely discuss this matter and my involvement in it as it works through the legal process.”
