During their August 17th quarterly meeting, he Jackson County Democratic Committee elected Joyce Anderson Downing, Ph.D. to the position of Brookings Township (Raytown) Democratic Committeewoman. Downing will complete the term of committeewoman Judy Briggs. Judy and her husband Jerry (a former committeeman) have recently moved to Lee’s Summit. Given the Brigg’s long history of hard work for the Democratic Party and the local Raytown Democratic Association, many have urged them to stay active as they move into what some might view as more hostile territory.
Downing joins her husband Michael, Richard Tush, and Sandy Hartwell to complete Raytown’s allotted 4 committee positions. All four will be up for re-election in the August primary of 2012. That election will be decided by the voters of Raytown.
