Tea Time Thursday, April 16th at Noon at Bay Breeze Restaurant.
Special Guests and Speakers:
Attorney David Evans to present information on the ills of medical marijuana. (There are lobbies in NC pushing drugs and casinos. We need to be able to recognize them.)
Gary Parris: Candidate for Buncombe County Sheriff. (Gary won his primary. We now have to support him through the general election in November.)
ASHEVILLE - Retired Naval officer Gary Parris has won the Republican primary race for sheriff in a landslide, clearing the field to face off against Sheriff Quentin Miller in November.
The former defense contractor with the U.S. Department of Defense received 7,954 votes, according to unofficial results from the N.C. State Board of Elections. Parris defeated former sheriff Sgt. Victor “Vic” Morman, his only challenger. Parris got nearly 75% of the vote with 100% of precincts reporting.
Parris, 68, will face Miller, a Democrat, in the November general election. No Democrat filed to run against Miller in the primary.
In a late social media post on election night, Parris said Buncombe County "sent a clear message" and the margin he won by shows voters are "ready for leadership that will invest in our deputies, strengthen the culture of the Sheriff’s Office, and move Buncombe County forward."
