A Message from the Floyd County Democratic Party Chairman

By Randy Stumler, Chairman, Floyd Co. Democratic Party

Dear friends:

We are truly living in exciting times! This fall election season is already shaping up to be a real debate about issues important to the people. One topic is on everyone’s minds: change. So in the spirit of change, I would like to make a personal announcement.

I have enjoyed serving you as your Floyd County Councilman for two terms and as Floyd County Democratic Chairman for four years. I believe that I found a calling that allowed me to give back to our community. I hope that I have been a faithful servant during this time.

Recently, another opportunity has arisen for me to give back, not just to the community that I love, but to our nation. The Department of Defense operates schools for the dependants of service personnel world wide. I have been asked to teach math and science at a military base in the Azores, off the coast of Portugal. My family and I have accepted this offer, and will be moving next month to the base where we will live while I am teaching there. I am very excited that I will be able to serve our country and the men and women in uniform in this way. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for my family and me, and we are up to the challenge.

Therefore, I will be resigning as councilman and chairman this week. When I have finished my service with the Department of Defense, we plan to return to our home, Floyd County, and I will continue to work for what I think is important: families, the environment, and a safe and livable community.

Thank you for supporting me for all these years, and stay involved in the fight for a better Floyd County!"

We will be leaving in early August, so I have already submitted my resignation. The party is in very capable hands with acting Chairwoman Marcey Wisman. Along with Tony and Adam, she is guiding us toward a Democratic landslide this fall with the help of all Democrats. There will be a few changes, but the transition will be seamless.

I want to thank all of you for all you do for the Democratic Party. Keep working hard to bring home victories for Barack Obama, Jill Long Thompsom, and all Democrats this fall!

I hope to see all of you again very soon.

Peace,

Randy Stumler
