Before heading off to the state Democratic Party Convention this weekend, an icon in the Wilson County Democratic Party, former Gov. Jim Hunt, said the party is sound and in good shape from Wilson County, to the state and all the way to Washington.
Hunt made his comments one day after Gwen Wilkins, chairwoman of the 1st Congressional District of the N.C. Democratic Party, asked Wilson County Democratic Chair Chris Boykin to resign. Wilkins cited lack of support for Wilson’s Democratic nominee for sheriff, Calvin Woodard. (Read more @ The Wilson Daily Times)
Note: Didn’t realize Boykin worked with the Sheriff Department. I can sympathize his position however what I can’t understand is why he did not resign as soon as Farmer was officially in the race. This is a tough situation having to openly support a candidate for Sheriff especially when this is your place of employment. So I say just resign and move on. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher

Wilson County Democratic Sheriff’s candidate Calvin Woodard got some long-awaited support from the Democratic Party Thursday evening.
Gwen Wilkins, chairwoman of the 1st Congressional District of the N.C. Democratic Party, traveled to Wilson County to give Woodard a check for $250, and to tell him that the party is supporting him.
She also revealed Thursday she’s asked for the resignation of Chris Boykin, Wilson County’s Democratic Party chairman, saying as chairman he’s not supporting the Democratic nominee for sheriff. Boykin didn’t return numerous phone messages seeking comment. (Read more @ The Wilson Daily Times)
Note: This is interesting. Don’t Boykin know that the thing to do is to step down. So why is it feels he can be the chair but not support Calvin Woodard. So is it he do not want to see a black man become Sheriff or is it to cover up corruption that so many speak of. I don’t know I am just asking. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
