Bar rett Seeks Democratic Nomination For Governor
The Aberdeen based C Boyd Barrett aims for the Democratic nomination this year and will push for the Huron convention. Barrett is an old time Democrat from Virginia, but faces opposition for appointing the writer as state central committee chair without consent two years ago. If he apologizes for that indiscretion, support may be reconsidered.
