I’d like to begin with one stipulation: I doubt there’s a single,
solitary Republican candidate whom Washington County Democratic Committee
Chairman Tyler Clark considers ‘fit’ to hold public office. I understand. Tyler
Clark is a Democrat. He considers only Democrats are ‘fit’ and his mission is
to have Democrats elected.
However, the law suit, fallacious attacks, ethics complaints and now the DPA’s call for Joseph Wood to resign comes straight from the win-at-all-costs playbook! When Democrats field a weak candidate (in this case, to run for County Judge), they deliberately avoid engaging on issues, choosing instead to smear and destroy highly-qualified Republican nominees.
Washington County Republicans settled on Joseph K. Wood to be their County Judge candidate! Wood is a conservative Republican and a minority, that is, a man of African-American heritage, whom reporter Brenda Blagg cryptically noted is “the fresher face” (This is a quote from an NWA online.com article by Brenda Blagg from August 7, 2016.)
In today’s racially-charged atmosphere, the Washington County Republican Committee urges all Washington County voters to recall the memorable words of Martin Luther King, Jr. who hoped his children would one day live in a nation where they would “not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
Notwithstanding attempts at character assassination instigated by Democrats in our county, the Republican candidate for County Judge, Joseph K. Wood shares the vision of Dr. King and challenges voters to weigh the content of his character. He is an outstanding candidate to lead county government on behalf of all citizens in Washington County.
Chairman Lance Johnson appeals to Washington County Democrats to dispense with these scorched-earth tactics and permit the voters to express their preference on November 8th.
