Candidate Graves gives his phone number to Monterey Place’s Jeanette Britt.
Monday, November 6, 2017 -
Jeanette Britt told the candidate knocking on her door that she had been tricked.
A man came to her house a few years ago selling life insurance, and she had bought it, assuming that it was a permanent plan that could be cashed out if she were ever in financial trouble.
She later learned that the policy was for term life insurance, which has no cash value and only pays a beneficiary if the owner dies within a specific period of time.
She told this story to Clifton Graves on Saturday when Graves knocked on her door seeking her vote this coming Tuesday in the election for a new probate judge. Graves, a Democrat, is running against Republican Melissa Papantones.
