<<When Pres. George Bush visited Boeing in the Puget Sound Aug. 13, SPEEA was asked to send two representatives. It was in the spirit mentioned above that we submitted the names of SPEEA’s Legislative
Director Kristin Farr and SPEEA Legislative and Public Affairs Committee Chair Joel Funfar. (Jennifer MacKay, SPEEA president, and I were both in Wichita at the time).
Remember this was not a political stop; it was an event by Bush as president of the United States, not candidate for the office. I was shocked to learn that Joel Funfar was barred from attending the meeting because he was “too close to the Kerry campaign.”..>>
