The vote was decided by 105 Forsyth DNC Executive Committee members in atten
dance, all of whom are either precinct chairs, vice chairs, party officers, auxiliary chairs,
elected officials and/or state executive committee members.
In the end, they chose Lowe, 71-34.
Parmon wouldn't say who her pick was. but said she was
pleased with the outcome.
We had two good candidates that
ran, and I think Sen. Paul Lowe, the
newly elected senator, will do a great
job to articulate and address those
issues that have been important to the
citizens of this district that I stood up
81 -1
rrrnrrBr^ra
for," she said.
Lowe, a native of Seattle, has been an active Democrat since the
1960s, when he helped his father distribute campaign materials for
candidates. A longtime party leader and official, he was a delegate at
the Democratic National Convention in 2008 and 2012. He and his
wife, LaGail, attended a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama
at the White House in 2012.
Lowe credited his victory -
to a campaign that focused
on calls and mailings to local
Democrats. He considers
politics an extension of his
work as pastor, as both pro
fessions help those in need.
"The need is so great," he
said. "1 mean there's a lot of
hurting people in our com
munity in the 32nd District
and 1 wanted to try to be a
voice for the hurting."
Lowe said he is not
daunted by Republicans'
firm control of the state leg
islature.
"Even though there's a
supermajority in Raleigh,
that doesn't negate that we
have to try to speak for all,
tiy to help all peoples." he
said.
Monday was Lowe's first
day in the N.C. Senate.
