Organization News

Democrats running in the officially nonpartisian Roxboro elections did rather well. Sam Spencer, Henry Daniel, Merilyn Newell and Sandy Stigall all won seats on the city council. Tom Brown is our new democratic mayor. Jason Torian came up short in his bid for a city council seat. Roxboro went from 50% Dem to %80 dem this year.
 
A house party was held Sept. 25 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at Mimi & Dale Games's home out near Hyco lake. It was a great time. Many thanks to Dale and Mimi Games for hosting and to Amy Green for organizing the event.
 
Democratic Women of Person Co. had another successful Cooks for Books book drive again this summer. Hundreds of books were collected and donated to needy schools in Person County. They will have a meeting in October date TBD.
 
The 13th congressional district convention was held in Person Co. on May 19th. We elected officers for the new 2 year cycle, debated resolutions and celebrated Brad Miller's birthday. Ray Jeffers was elected 3rd vice chair for the district.
 
We had our county convention April 14. Delegates from 9 precincts were on hand to hear Brad Miller, Ellie Kinnaird and Winkie Wilkins provide updates on recent legislative activities and take questions. The assembled delegates discussed and approved 7 resolutions, a new slate of county officers and representatves to the Executive Committee of the NCDP.  
 
Young Democrats of Person County will have a meeting in the near future. If you are a registered democrat 18 - 35 and wish to participate, please call 504-5942 and leave a message.
 
Three members of the Person Teen Democrats attended the annual state convention the 24th of March. It was a combined convention with college dem and young dems. Over 300 teen-college-young dems attended.
 
The next meeting of the county executive committee is set for 1-10-08 at 7:00 at the senior center.
 
Person Co. did very well supporting democrats, though the results could have been better. Brad Miller, Ellie Knnaird, Winkie Wilkins, Johnny Lunsford, Joel Brewer*, Dewey Jones and Deborah Barker all posted wins. We gave substantial leads to all the statewide judicial candidates. On the down side, we didn't get Fred Fox elected and had to rely on Caswell Co. to get Joel Brewer another term.
 
     Democratic Women of Person Co. have organized!! If you are interested in participating please call 504 5942 for further information.
