Cunningham explains how she became “just Jane”
State Senate hopeful Jane Cunningham has unveiled her campaign website - where informal salutations are apparently welcome.
The Republican state rep from Chesterfield has a section on her page labeled “I’m just Jane,” a phrase, we’re told, she’s made popular around the Capitol.
According to Cunningham, er, Jane, she coined the moniker during a committee hearing in 2001.
From her new website:
A witness was respectfully responding to a legislator’s questions with the term, “Sir” The legislator interrupted him and degraded him saying, “Don’t call me sir, I’m Representative.” Later in the hearing when a witness was answering my questions and addressing me as “Representative”, I interrupted him and said, “You don’t have to call me Representative, I’m just Jane.”
“In a time when office holders sometimes think too hefty of themselves, and even consider themselves above the law,” Cunningham adds, “I’m just Jane.”
Thanks to just Dave at the Arch City Chronicle for the link.
