Given the absence of mentioning party label in the article, I presume he’s a Democrat ?

“Newell, who is 51 years old, may have spent time in a mental institution.....”

That alone qualifies him.

This kind of local election is usually non-partisan, isn’t it?

Newell, who is 51 years old, may have spent time in a mental institution before running for the office under the assumed name.

Sounds like the man for the job, and whats a few unpaid tax bills are a different name. The man is pulling himself up with his own boot straps.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve read re local elections. Of course, I live in Guilford County.

I mean, this guy is the perfect politican. He lives off the public dole, he has no job, he’s obviously a con man. He ran under false pretenses. He is simply upfront about what other politicians, namely our long elected congresspersons, try to conceal.

Too funny. I’m send this link to my sister in Memphis. FOR ONCE, I can compete with her Ford family stories :-)

It’s a non partisan race.

A rat county commissioner has the same name, so this guy chose it to confuse voters obviously.

How funny. What has that Eddie Murphy movie.

I’m sure this has happened before.

It goes to show how stupid voters are. This country has no respect for those who died to give them the right to vote, they just pick names, any name, it doesn’t matter.

This shows us once again that Democrats don’t have the vaguest idea about the value of quailifcations. They have just elected a mental patient using a fake name. Need I say more?

There is only one party.

Then, there’s the rest of us.
