About this listen
Cary Jones of Blackfoot served as his assistant on energy, environment, and natural resources during his years in office.
On this season two premiere episode of “It’s Worth Mentioning,” Rett Nelson speaks with Jones about his memories serving with Stallings. Jones recalls how he and Stallings first connected politically, Stallings’ political accomplishments and why the Pocatello Democrat appealed to voters during a time when a popular Republican president, Ronald Reagan, carried the vote in 49 states, including Idaho.
He also shares several experiences during that time that he says made it a fun time be in politics and provides some perspective on politics today.
Years earlier, Jones worked for Idaho Gov. John Evans as his special assistant for natural resources. During this time, Jones spent time with Hollywood icon Robert Redford — who passed away in September at age 89 — on a float along the Snake River. Jones kicks off the discussion sharing his memories of Redford and this experience.
If you’re a fan of political or Hollywood history, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
