JoAnne Guzzi withdraws from county clerk race

I would like to clarify my endorsement of Roger Rudd following my withdrawal from the Bonner County Clerk race, as reported in the Daily Bee on April 24. My endorsement appeared in the printed edition but was not included in the online article.

Out of respect for voters and the integrity of the process, I felt it was appropriate to withdraw and support the candidate most aligned with my values, the Rudd campaign. I also want to acknowledge Spencer Hutchings for his commitment and the energy he has brought to this race.
