Oconee Democrats depart for state convention

Oconee Democrats, empowered with delegate and alternate voting authority, are on their way to Columbia for tomorrow morning’s state convention.  We spoke this afternoon to Mike Evatt, the county’s state committee member.  Evatt told us he had the honor of driving two of his fellow Democrats–Maxie Duke of Walhalla and Ruth May of Westminster. According to Evatt, most Oconee delegates are going into the convention as delegates committed to support Hillary Clinton for President.  Duke is hopeful of being elected as a delegate to the national convention in July.
