Avoiding Unwanted HeadlinesAs many of you well know, I've been pretty critical of Kelli Ward's presence on DME's board of directors, which I think could place an unwanted political target on DME (of course, I also don't like the relatively large about of stock-based compensation she has received for seemingly having little business, technical or other experience of value to the company).
Well, I was glad to see that she seems to have successfully avoided creating major headlines so far in connection with the January 6 committee (
Kelli Ward, Arizona GOP chair, refused to answer questions before Jan. 6 committee (msn.com)). The process isn't over yet by any means, but I feel like this is a departure from Kelli Ward's long history of seemingly trying to generate politically divisive headlines at every opportunity.
Perhaps she recognizes that she has much to lose (i.e. DME equity/option interest) financially if DME finally concludes that her political baggage needlessly endangers the company's future operational efforts/execution, and is now trying to keep a lower profile (maybe). Time will tell...
