Nash County Democrats choose new register of deeds

The Political Agitator’s response: The Nash County Democratic Party had an opportunity to appoint a Black female Sandra Cooper to fill the vacant seat for the Register of Deeds. I read the vote was close so therefore I believe there must have been an underlying factor/s since the vote was close. After questioning some folk I heard that Davis was a former Republican and possibly changed her party registration recently to seek the appointment. See this is why I get tickled to death when Republicans talk about the Democratic Party. It is okay to get hired as a Republican but when it comes time to run in a Democratic population and/or time to replace a Democrat to serve out an unexpired term, it is good to be a Democrat. I was told that newly appointed Nash County Commissioner Gwen Wilkins (Black) gave all of her votes to Davis. Yes I understand qualifications, experience and other and sometimes one has to go with the other when it comes to politics. Well Wilkins term will be up in 2022 and the Register of Deeds term will be up in 2024. Folk you got time to get involved.

Nash County Assistant Register of Deeds Sandra Davis has been selected to fill the post of Nash County register of deeds in the wake of the death of Anne Melvin during her term in office.

Davis has worked in the Nash County Register of Deeds Office for 14 years and has served as assistant register of deeds for roughly nine years.

Cassandra Conover, chairwoman of the Nash County Democratic Party, told the Telegram late Thursday night that Davis was chosen during a meeting of the party’s executive committee to fill the elected position left vacant by the death of Melvin, who was a Democrat.

According to state law, the party affiliation of the former register of deeds determines who makes the decision about a replacement in such cases.

“The county executive committee elected Sandra Davis to be our recommendation to the Board of Commissioners to fill the position of Nash County register of deeds,” Conover said. “Sandra’s 14 years of experience working in this office provides her with a strong foundation in her endeavors as register of deeds. We know she will excel and take the office to higher heights.”

Davis will need to be approved by Nash County commissioners at the next regular meeting of the board. However, the state statute is written in such a way that board approval is guaranteed. (Read more)

Letter to Telegram: Support the better candidate to replace Mary Wells

The Nash County Democratic Party Executive Committee has a deadline to meet to suggest a name to be given to the Nash County commissioners.

The precinct chairs and elected officials must live in the district to be able to vote for the nominee. If I am correct, none of the six Nash County Democratic Party county officers will be eligible to vote.

The Nash County commissioners can accept or deny the nominee chosen by the Nash County Democratic Party Executive Committee.

I really believe that Rosita Wiggins, former Nash County Democratic Women and former Nash County Board of Elections member, would be a great nominee to replace Mary Wells.

I have followed the Nash County Democratic Party for years dating back to the days that William Hobbs, Mary Wells and Dwight Jordan were the chairs. I used to attend some of their meetings along with Rosita Wiggins. I enjoyed working with them because they all were sincere about making Nash County a better place to live, work and play. None of these folk were in it for self-aggrandizement.

I have been told that someone that is seeking the nomination has been campaigning for months. If this is true, that is so disrespectful and speaks volumes about that person. I bet the person has had some folk commit to giving their vote to them while not knowing who would be seeking the appointment.

I have always been amazed how folk commit to folk when they don’t know who will actually be seeking an appointment. Now, I can understand committing to a friend if that be the case, but for folk who do not know all the persons who may be seeking the appointment, you need to do your homework to make sure you support the better candidate.

Rocky Mount NC – Edgecombe & Nash County Democratic Party Officers Will Show You Were They Stand During The Mayor Run-Off Election

It is a damn shame that the Edgecombe & Nash County Democratic Party Officers are hiding behind the Rocky Mount City Council Election is a Non-Partisan Election so they should not get involved. Really! Oh that is because Nash County Democrats are supporting Sandy Claus Roberson.

Hell Rev. Roosevelt Higgs and the Edgecombe County Democratic Party is a damn joke because the party has not held a meeting since Higgs was elected again to be the party chair after Lawrence Taylor was chair for 2 years. Lawrence spent what few dollars that was in the account when Higgs left so therefore I bet the party has no money at this time.

I am going to see if the Edgecombe & Nash County Party going to endorse Bronson Williams the Democratic candidate.

I understand that the Nash County Democratic Party talking about they should not and could not get into the run-off because they want to hide behind the Election is Non-Partisan. Really! So are the Judge Elections and School Board Elections. These Elections have been made Non-partisan over the years simply because . . . Go figure! Yep! It is racially motivated.

I understand that the Democratic Party do not like to support one Democrat over another in a Primary Election and during Municipal Elections because they are all Non-Partisan Categories. However Judge and School Board Elections are on the ballot with Partisan Elections. But the party can choose to support one Democrat over another if they wanted to.

Over the years in Edgecombe and Nash Counties both parties have endorsed a Democratic Candidate in a Non-Partisan Election and also given them money. I repeat endorsed and given the Democratic Candidate money.

Damn folk you better think for yourself because although the Non-Party Elections, the Municipal, the Judge and School Board candidates are not listed on the ballot as Democrat or Republican because it is a Non-Partisan Category, yep Category the candidates are registered Democrat or Republican and not Unaffiliated but it is not on the ballot what party they belong to. So therefore since they are registered as a Democrat that means they belong to the Democratic Party. Damn Bronson Williams is a Vice Chair on the Edgecombe County Democratic Party Executive Committee and is on the County Executive Committee because he is one of the 6 officers.

Nash County Folk you better start attending the Nash County Democratic Party meetings and hold them asses accountable.

The Edgecombe County Democratic Party whereby I am on the Executive Committee because I am a Precinct Chair we never meet until there is a vacancy and then Higgs and a couple of the County Officers try to manipulate the process. Just wait until December when Higgs who live Nash County serving as the chair of the Edgecombe County Democratic Party will call a meeting to make an appointment when someone retires. They manipulated the process when we met to appoint the Edgecombe County Sheriff when we appointed the current Sheriff who were appointed and then elected.

I didn’t attend the Edgecombe County Convention in April when the Election of the County Officers were held and the party voted Higgs back in as chair. However I did have my precinct meeting in March so I am a bonified Precinct Chair and a member of the Edgecombe County Democratic Party Executive Committee. Some of the folk who had a problem with me challenging the party during every damn meeting that I attend, oh they came to me said I was missed you at the County Convention. Well you see they were against Higgs and Taylor and had realized I was right.

After the election some Democrats filed a petition against Higgs but if failed. I told them what to do and had started a petition but they wouldn’t listen to me. Hell if they had listened to me they would have an effective Edgecombe County Democratic Party but now we have a mess. Well if they like it, I love it! I did my part and will continue to challenge the party whenever we meet.

Folk don’t want to hear these trues but I am going to educate those who follow me whether they like me or not. Don’t like me simply don’t follow me.

Fact Check!
Report Back!
I’ll Wait!
