Letter of Recommendation

Forsyth County Democratic Party Officers
315 North Spruce Street
Winston-Salem, NC 27101

Dear Democratic Party Officers,

The African American Caucus of the Forsyth County Democratic Party (AAC-FCDP) wishes to express full support for Linda Sutton to replace Joan Cardwell as Chairperson for the Forsyth County Board of Elections. For many years the African American Community has had misgivings about whether our votes were truly being counted. With new leadership at the Board of Elections and with Ms. Sutton as Chairperson of the Board of Elections, many of our past problems and concerns will have been addressed.

Ms. Linda Sutton is well known and respected throughout the City of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She currently holds leadership positions with the Black Leadership Roundtable, NAACP and W-S Voting Rights Coalition, all non-partisan groups. Ms. Sutton has worked tirelessly with the previous BOE to insure Early Voting Sites in the neediest parts of Forsyth County and to make sure that the best Voting Machines were available for the citizens of the City and County.

Please consider this letter as a recommendation from the political representatives of the African American Community. Your support is required to restore the integrity of the Forsyth County Voting and Election Processes.

Sincerely,


Harold Lee Hairston – President
African American Caucus of the Forsyth County Democratic Party
