Local Democratic Party Elects New Officers

On May 7th the Lawrence County Democratic Party elected its new officers for the upcoming two years. County Commissioner Chris Jackson was elected Chairman, Chris Williams was elected Vice Chairman, County Commissioner Anne Brown was elected Secretary and Loucile Putman was elected Treasurer.

Newly elected Chairman Chris D. Jackson said, "Over the next two years, my goal as Chairman of the Democratic Party will be to put forth and support candidates and policies which have one goal in mind: making Lawrence County a better place to live for everyone. Currently, our party has been entrusted with a majority of the elected positions in the county and there is a reason for that: our candidates put people first, produce results and reflect well on our great county. As Chairman of the party, I will make sure that tradition continues by always keeping in mind that we work for the people, not the other way around."

"It is my hope that we can continue to work together in common cause no matter what our political affiliation is and move Lawrence County forward. That is what the people want and deserve."
