Skinner Named Democratic Candidate for County Board South District
Vance Skinner of Route was chosen last night as the Democratic candidate to fill a county board vacancy in the South District. The selection was by Democratic precinct committeemen. Skinner has served on the county board since March after being appointed to complete the term of the late Herbert Pickett who died Feb 21. A special primary was canceled by the county board under a new law, leaving Skinner as the sole nominee. Ted Buck had been a contender. Some officials argued the move was unfair to Buck who had invested time and money in the race. County Clerk Frank Wilson said Democratic Chairman Robert Walsh reported Skinner was the only nominee at the committeemen meeting.
