Democratic Party names successor for Pender County Commission seat

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Pender County Democrats have picked a replacement for an open county commission seat, reports Andy Pettigrew at The Pender-Topsail Post & Voice.

Democrats named Demetrius Keith to succeed Jimmy Tate Tuesday night. Tate gave his resignation earlier this month to take a job with James Sprunt Community College.

Keith ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the Pender County School Board in 2010 and 2014.

The Pender County Commission will vote to approve Keith’s appointment Monday.
