The Richmond County Democratic Party held it's annual County Convention Saturday April 18th in Rockingham. Delegates elected new officers, members of the State Executive Committee and delegates to the District Convention to be held next month in Fayetteville.
Democrats in Richmond County were served up a plateful of American tradition this past Friday on the birthday of our nation. After the ribbon cutting, lunch was served consisting of good old hot dogs with all the trimmings, apple pie and lemonade. What could be more American than that? All the officers, Svea Strong, chair; Jeff Joyner, 1st vice chair; Anna Thomas, 2nd vice chair; Emma Lambeth, 3rd vice chair; Jim Chandler, secretary and Robbyn Sumpter, treasurer assisted with cutting the ribbon at the new headquarters located at 201 East Washington St., in Rockingham.
