May be an image of Leshaun Jenkins and text that says 'SOUTHDEPARTMENT PIEDMONT PIEDMONT PIEDMONT PIEDM PIEDM REGIONAL PIEDM SHOWCASE PIEDMONT LESHAUN JENKINS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Tarboro High School SPEAKER SPEAKER JOIN US SATURDAY APRIL 10, 2021 at 10am'

Jenkins is an educator and former coach in Edgecombe County Public Schools.

Leshaun Jenkins is a political science major and that is why I recommended him when we were looking for someone to replace Roosevelt Higgs, who was reprimanded by the state Democratic Party for two years from serving in the Democratic Party.

Leshaun Jenkins was elected by Edgecombe County Democrats to fill the unexpired term of Higgs and he has done a hell of a job.

Leshaun Jenkins has led Edgecombe County Democrats without any support from 1st Vice Chair Martha Knight Johnson, 2nd Vice Chair Gladys Shelton and 3rd Vice Chair Bronson Williams. I understand that the secretary communicated with Jenkins; however, she was never given the opportunity to be a real secretary under the leadership of Higgs.

Leshaun Jenkins created social media communications for the party and sent out information to all officers, even if they responded or not. Recently since the precinct meetings he started communications just for the chairs who turned in their precinct packages, along with the other communications already in place.

Leshaun Jenkins was able to secure a headquarters and worked with candidates during the 2020 election. Jenkins put up money out of his pocket for the headquarters and for the phone used at headquarters along with donations from candidates and Democrats.

Leshaun Jenkins and the treasurer, Stephanie Hunter, worked together to keep the monies accounted for and for the first time in years, the party has a fund balance of over $2,000. I don’t recall having that amount of money in the treasury for years, especially for the past 10 to 15 years. I know I didn’t contribute monies as a precinct chair because I didn’t like how the monies were being misused by the past three chairs before Jenkins.

I strongly believe that Edgecombe County under the leadership of Leshaun Jenkins is one of the best-organized counties across the state because of his technological skills, people skills and his passion for not only the children of Edgecombe County but all Democrats.

On Saturday, April 10, I ask that you join me and vote for Leshaun Jenkins as chair of the Edgecombe County Democratic Party.
