Mid-Term elections were not exactly what Democrats had hoped for. On the county level we have some success: Patsy Lassiter and Leverne Lusk did not have opponents and will be serving another term. Vera Foreman, Justice of the Peace Precinct 4, narrowly won re-election as did Precinct 4's Commission, Byron Underwood. We celebrate these rays of sunshine in a political climate that looks gloomy in many ways.
Thersa Phifer, Justice of the Peace for Precinct 2, sadly was not re-elected. This is a very disappointing result for all Cherokee Democrats. Perhaps a result of our failure to get out the vote in the southern part of the county. Others Democrats who were not successful were Marlene Jowell, candidate for County Judge, Dr. Richard Hackney, candidate for State Representative of District 11 and Preston Meador, candidate for Justice of the Peace precinct 3.
But Democrats in Cherokee County are not letting these defeats keep up down. We are continuing to spread the word that Cherokee County Democrats are here still growing and going.
Join us each month as we continue to meet and share ideas and strategies.
We meet on the fourth Thursdays and do move the meeting spot around the county. Check with us on where the meetings will be.
