Election Update Letter

Hello fellow Democrats,

The primaries are now complete, and I want to thank all those who volunteered to work at the polls on election day and in the weeks prior to the election.

​

Congratulations to Sandy Wood Calvert in the At-Large primary for county council. Democrat William L. Jennings was the winner of our District 3 run for county commissioner. He will be facing Republican David Risk, who was in a three-person contest. Risk defeated current commissioner Joel Walter, who only received 12% of the vote. The public is very upset with the commissioners for many reasons. I am sure that the leading article in the Owen News, May 3, 2024, concerning the public's right to speak at meetings was not helpful. Extremely foolish timing for candidates' statements to be made days before an election. You should pick up a free copy of the paper and read it.

​

Democrat John Wayne Keene, who was a candidate for District three, will continue to represent the party in the fall. His race with William Jennings was very close, with John receiving 44% of the vote. John, looking to serve the community, has agreed to run for one of the three At-Large county council positions.
