At a special meeting of Carbon County Democratic Committee members this morning, Tina Henninger of Lower Towamensing Township was elected County Chair and Nate Halenar of Summit Hill was elected Vice Chair. Billy O’Gurek, who served as County Chair for the past ten years, resigned because of other time commitments.
Henninger will take over a unified and determined Democratic Party. The Republican Party, captured by a strange mixture of Q-Anon supporters, Trump die-hards, and anti-vaxxers, has been losing support in Carbon County in recent months, especially since the attempt to subvert the election on January 6.
Perhaps some fresh blood will lead to some changes. Billy was a very dedicated person and surely will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI will miss him, but I think Ms. Henninger will be a good leader.
