(Las Vegas, Nevada; August 22, 2001)

JG: Did you know those two women personally...

DE: Yes.

JG: Flora Dungan and Helen Herr?

DE: Yes, I did. (DEisenberg1) So when Jean wanted to run for office, she had a willing group of women, I - I think hundreds, that wanted to help. And then she had to organize who did what, a - and I think that she did a - a good job at that, and we didn't care what party she was. The fact is, several people went to - who were in the League a - and Jean was a Republican at the time and we were Democrats, and the Democratic Party wanted to throw us out because we were helping a Republican. So there were many Democrats who gave money to Jean and supported Jean, because they knew she wasn't for a party, she was for issues and for better things for the state, so it - it really wasn't a party thing, but it got to be with - with some people.(DEisenberg1)
