Gwen Wilkins 1st Vice Chair North Carolina State Democratic Party Willing To Move Up To Replace David Parker But Somebody Said The Timing Ain’t Right! Damn!

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on May 10, 2012

Just read on The Dem Dem Facebook page whereby someone posted that Gwen Wilkins sent out an email saying she was willing to move up to the chair position if she is nominated and of course if she won the nomination.

Someone said the timing was not right but when is the right time? Who makes that call? I thought the Democratic process is to nominate someone and then vote on them and then if they are not elected then I will agree that timing is not right but to say it without giving a reason is not good enough for me. So can someone tell me why the timing is not right? Just maybe you can convince me. Thanking you in advance.

I find it quite interesting that David Parker didn’t just resign and move on to leave others to set the stage for the calling of the meeting to replace him. However it appears that he was probably directed by some others to not resign but to call a meeting. I do remember he said he had met with the officers and they all wanted him to stay on however Gwen Wilkins reported that was not true.

Some folks have this thingy about once a person is appointed or already in a position that it sometimes give them an edge. So I wonder is that the case in this position.

Again I find it quite interesting the meeting was set for Mother’s Day Weekend and College Graduations so why is that? I do believe once a person steps down you have x amount of days to call a meeting. However I do believe the next regularly scheduled meeting would have been held in June.

Enough on this I will just wait until Saturday to see how all of this unfolds. I don’t like it but whatever.

Breaking News: Dem leaders reject Parker’s stand – WRAL

Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on April 19, 2012

Response: See what Gwen Wilkins had to say about Parker’s latest email stating he has support of the Executive Council.

WRAL - Wilkins was on the call Parker referenced. She called WRAL tonight to offer the following statement.

"Chairman Parker stated in his email that he had met with the Executive Council via teleconference, and that he was gratified by their strong support for his continued chairmanship," Wilkins said.

"I was elected because dedicated and loyal Democrats had faith that I would not sit back and be quiet when the time came to speak up. Martin Luther King Jr. said that a person should not be judged by where he stands in times of comfort and convenience, but a man should be judged by where he stands in times of conflict and controversy."

"With that said, let me be clear: that all–and I stress ALL–those on the [state Democrats'] Executive Council have NOT indicated their support of Chairman Parker," Wilkins said. "It is my opinion that the statement made by him is misleading to the Democrats that elected him to office and to our voters." (More)
