Regional voters to pick school board members

Democrats urge voters into Doug McKillip’s first GOP race

Vendor Info

I would recommend voting for Chuck Horton over Melvin Davis for BOC chair, Tom Odom over Mike Hunter for BOE chair, Scott Berry over Trey Downs for Sheriff, Jim Luke over Sarah Bell for BOC, Mark Saxon over Tammy Gilland for BOC, Pamela Lohr Hendrix over Jennifer Riddle for Tax Commissioner and Regina Quick over Doug McKillip in the State House race. I would also suggest voting yes on the T-SPLOST referendum. Please vote for Stephen Simpson over Paul Broun for Congress. And contrary to what NewsTalk 1340 WGAU AM talk show host Tim Bryant just reported, the advance voting in Oconee County is not in the Courthouse, but next door to the Courthouse at the Board of Registrations and Elections on Court Street in a small brick building adjacent to the Courthouse in the curve near the rear parking lot. Please vote.  Oconee Today -- July 27

The Oconee County Democratic Committee will be having their bi-annual caucus 2:00 pm Saturday, August 11 at the restaurant Kumquat Mae in Watkinsville on Barnett Shoals Road. We will elect committee members and officers. We welcome your nomination for new people in either those positions or on the committee. We have had no one from the Bogart and Malcom Bridge (District 5) voting precincts on our committee for quite some time. It would be very good to bring some new people on committee in this Presidential election season.
