Oconee County, GA Politics

Pat and Liz I know though personal and professional circles, and think they both have great stories to share. I know they are both brilliant leaders in an innocuous manner. They are well worthy of blogs and books and plays and journals. I hope I can make their meetings sometime soon. I know the truth is stranger than fiction here in Oconee County. Pat Adams is the Assistant Chair of the Oconee County Democratic Committee, among many other things. She has tact, discipline, and the drive necessary to be able to get done almost any reasonable goal or accomplishment. Liz Buddenhagen once brought me brownies at work, so far the first and only person to have attempted that task, and for that I am eternally grateful. She was coming to where I work in an attempt to establish her credentials as a legal resource for the local attorneys at the time, I believe.
