An elected official in California threw her support behind the salon owner who shuttered her business over the Nancy Pelosi debacle — offering the hairstylist a chance to reopen in her neck of the woods.

Bonnie Gore, one of five supervisors in Placer County, extended the offer to eSalon owner Erica Kious in a letter earlier this week.

“As an elected official, I am disheartened to hear about your recent experience in San Francisco with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, at your salon,” Gore wrote in the letter, which was posted on her Facebook page.

“I cannot image the heartbreak you have experienced during Covid-19 especially since your business and livelihood have been completely upended in the past few weeks.”

The letter was penned on Tuesday after Kious said in an interview with “Fox & Friends” that she planned on reopening her business but hadn’t decided on a location.

“While you may already know your next destination, I would like to invite you to consider setting up your next salon here,” Gore wrote. “Our arms are open to hard-working small business owners.”

Gore signed the letter with the message, “I hope to hear from you!”

Earlier this month, Kious announced she was permanently closing her eSalon in San Francisco amid allegations she set up Pelosi, who was seen in video inside the salon without a mask on while getting her hair done on Aug. 31. At the time, salons were only allowed to conduct business outside.

Kious denied setting up the top California Democrat.

Placer County is about a three-hour drive northeast of San Francisco.
