(Connersville, IN)--Fayette County Council candidate Jaime West has issued a response to question about her appearance on a candidates’ forum that has drawn millions of views across the world this week due to West’s affect and comments.  In that response, which was included in an article posted Thursday night by the Connersville News Examiner, West said that she was not drunk or under the influence of any drugs, but did say that she had one Coors Light before the interview began.  West claims to have slurred her words because of a traumatic brain injury she suffered six years ago.  She added, in referring to herself in the third person, that she has received lots of support from around the world.
