LOWNDES CITIZENS UNITED FOR ACTION

 ENDORSE CANDIDATES FOR NOVEMBER 7,2006 ELECTION

 

Lowndes Citizens United for Action, a nonprofit community organization has endorsed the following local candidates:

1.  For Lowndes County Coroner:  Audrey Marlette (R) of Hayneville

 

We believe this important position could use some new blood; Audrey is a local activist who has exhibited intelligence, sensitivity and tolerance.

 

2.  For County Commissioner District 1:  Robert Harris (D)

   

Commissioner Harris has shown "courage under fire" and a willingness to learn and grow.

 

3.  For County Commissioner District 4:  Paul Sloane (R)

Commissioner Sloane replaced Sam Bargainier after his death.  Although we have had some disagreements with Mr. Sloane, he has shown that he believes the people have a right to know, which is an important part of our Open Government Project.  His opponent has never attended a County Commission meeting, and we feel that is inexcusable.

 

4.  For State Senate District 30 (Lowndes, Butler, Crenshaw, Elmore and Pike Counties): "Walking"  Wendell Mitchell (D)

Some of us in Lowndes County were placed in District 30 after the state district lines were redrawn.  Some of us are in District 23, now represented by Senator Hank Sanders.  Senator Mitchell helped us stop the landfill on the Alabama River and has shown his consituents that he cares what they think.

Endorsements were made upon the request of the candidate or LCUFA members; then the endorsement was put to a democratic vote.
