23 <br /> D ORANGEDEMOCRATS <br /> January, 2023 <br /> Via Email <br /> Dear Orange County Board of County Commissioners, <br /> As you know,on January 30,2023,the County Executive Committee of the Orange County <br /> Democratic Party (the "CEC") met in an open, virtual meeting to consider whom to recommend <br /> to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners("BoCC")to fill the vacancy on the BoCC <br /> left by the departure of Commissioner Price. Following precedent, CEC members residing in <br /> Commission District 2 voted `yes' or `no' as to each applicant on the question of whether such <br /> applicant should receive the CEC's recommendation, with any applicant receiving weighted- <br /> majority votes in the affirmative receiving a recommendation. <br /> Per that vote, Phyllis Portie-Ascott receives the Orange County Democratic Party's <br /> recommendation to fill the BoCC vacancy, attaining a weighted vote total of 77.5%. <br /> No other applicant attained a weighted-majority vote. <br /> Thank you for your consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, please note that our <br /> transmission of these recommendations is intended to fulfill the consultation requirement of N.C. <br /> Gen. Stat. § 152A-27(c). <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jonah Garson, OCDP Chair <br />
