For any of you that are Democrats or plan to vote in the Democratic primary*, the local party is having some events of interest including their convention this weekend.
The County Convention is on Saturday, April 8, at the Orange County Courthouse in Hillsborough. Registration begins at 11:00, barbecue lunch ($10.00 donation) at 11:30, and the meeting itself at 12:45. Candidates will be politicking in the parking lot before the convention, and the keynote address is by Patricia Timmons-Goodson, Associate Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.
Meet the candidates for District 15B Superior Court Judge at the April 6 meeting of the Orange County Democratic Women, 6:00 pm at the Exchange at Meadowmont.
Come to the Open House for all Democratic candidates at the Occoneechee Steak House, 378 S. Churton Street, in Hillsborough from 6:30 - 9:00 pm on Monday, April 10.
Attend the Orange County Commissioner Candidate Forum, April 22, 3:30-5:00 pm, at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road, in Chapel Hill. Doors will open at 3:00 PM and remain open to 5:30 pm for more informal conversations with the candidates.
* Barring some unforseen act of nature, the Democratic primary winners in the County Commissioners race will win in November, so this is your only chance to influence that election.
