Nelson: Voters Told Currie To Move On

Jai Nelson's official statement re: the write-in candidacy of Commissioner Rick Currie: "I am grateful and honored to be selected as the Republican Nominee for County Commissioner by the primary voters of Kootenai County. The citizens made a clear choice to move ahead toward a new  direction and leave the status quo behind. In fact, two-thirds of the voters told the incumbent to move on. The voters deserve to be recognized and their choice respected.  I have listened and heard the voters and plan to continue to listen. I am ready to represent and serve all of the citizens of Kootenai County."

Question: How do you interpret Jai Nelson's narrow GOPrimary victory in the three-way race for Rick Currie's Kootenai County commissioner seat?
