Jerry Meek, Chairman
North Carolina Democratic Party
220 Hillsborough Street
Raleigh, NC 27603
Dear Chairman Meek:
It is with both regret and anticipation that I resign my position as chairman of the First Congressional District Democratic Party of North Carolina, effective immediately. I will be pursuing a new direction in my work within the North Carolina Democratic Party and the residents of North Carolina. My plan is to file for the North Carolina Senate District 5 at noon today.
It has been a genuine pleasure working with you, your staff, North Carolina Democratic Party officers at all levels, United States Representative G.K. Butterfield, his staff, a host of North Carolina elected officials, and many great Democrats from across our state, especially those in the 23 counties in the First Congressional District of North Carolina. It was also wonderful working with Mira Jones, eastern political director. She is truly dedicated to the residents of our great District. Our work has been challenging and rewarding. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to serve as the chairman of the First Congressional District Democratic Party of North Carolina.
If I may help with any transition, please know that I will gladly make myself available. Thank you so much for your friendship and support over the years.
Sincerely,
Donald G. Davis

C. Dancy II - TPA Opinion: This is a sad day for the NC Democratic Party because Mayor Don Davis was one of the best Chairmans we have had since my involvement in the party since the early 90's. I have truly enjoyed working with him. Davis had a tough task of carrying out the appointments of House Rep. Howard Hunter and Senator Robert Hollomon who died within 24 hours of each other. I attended all of the appointments and Mayor Davis did an execellent job. The last appointment was former Rocky Mount Councilwoman being appointed to fill House Rep. Ed Jones seat when he was appointed to fill Senator Hollomon's seat. I had the opportunity to drive now House Rep. Angela Bryant to Roanoke Rapids on the morning that she was appointed. I also thank you for answering the call when I requested that you attend our Edgecombe County Democratic Party meeting during the time of the Board of Elections appointment. Thank you Mayor Davis for your professionalism and there is no doubt the person who follow you will have some big shoes to fill.
