Douglas County Democratic Party under new leadership

The Douglas County Democratic Party has reorganized and is re-energized, according to Free Polazzo, its newly-elected secretary.

The organization held elections Feb. 1 at St. Julian’s Episcopal Church with state Commissioner of Labor Michael L. Thurmond as guest speaker.

According to the Polazzo, Thurmond talked about how communities, like Douglas, are crucial to candidates in statewide elections, although the county is labeled “Republican.”

Thurmond was given a standing ovation when he finished and election of officers followed.

Twenty-three of the 26 seat post holders heard speeches from candidates for each office.
