Giles County Demos Plan Reorganization Convention

Preparations continue for the Giles County Democratic Party Reorganization Convention on March 18.

A room has been reserved at the Pulaski Recreation and Community Center on March 18, two possible speakers have been contacted, and plans for a signature event to draw attention to the party were discussed at a recent meeting.

County party executive committee members will be on the agenda to be elected for the next two years.

Attorney Joe Fowlkes, a former Tennessee State Representative, was suggested as a speaker, and Richard Dunnavant, a Giles County Democratic Party member, will ask him.

Fowlkes, a Pulaski attorney, is a Brick Church resident.

Keidron Turner, a Pulaski college student, also was suggested as a speaker.

Laurie Wade, an executive committee member, suggested county Democrats organize a voter registration effort to increase interest and public visibility in the party.

“Why complain if you don’t want to do anything about it,” she asked.

Other suggestions were to have a sign with the Democratic Party’s principles on it, or to have a highly visible project.
