Jorgenson Gives Brannon $1000

Sen. Mike Jorgenson donated $1,000 Tuesday to Jim Brannon, the Seat 2 challenger contesting the results of Coeur d’Alene’s Nov. 3 general election. The pledge means Brannon, the seat 2 challenger, has surpassed the $5,000 total bond 1st District Judge Benjamin Simpson ordered with the suit, and ensures it will move forward. Brannon filed the bond Tuesday. “We’ve had road block after road block,” Brannon said of the effort to get the suit to trial, adding that he believed “there was substantial error that occurred in the election.” Jorgenson’s donation helped get it there, since Simpson lowered the original $40,000 bond to $5,000 last week/ Coeur d’Alene Press .
