The photo of U.S. House candidate Rebekah Jones' campaign booth was taken at a convention dedicated to holistic wellness and environmental sustainability. Jones did not host the event, nor was the event held on her behalf.
Jones disputed Gaetz's characterization that the photo showed a"campaign event" and said onthat she had stepped away from the booth while her son, who has autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and anxiety, had a quiet moment to himself following a period of overstimulation.
Scott Chase, the Emerald Coast Holistic Health Expo’s owner, confirmed that Jones participated at the event as an exhibitor."This was not a political campaign event for anyone or any political party," Chase told PolitiFact."She or Gaetz could have registered as an exhibitor, and neither would have been refused."
