Orange County Supervisor J. Bryan Nicol will speak to the LOW Democratic Club on March 12 about current issues facing Lake of the Woods.
The club’s meeting will take place in Classroom 2 of the LOW Community Center. A gathering period will begin at 1 p.m. and the program will commence at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend, regardless of political affiliation.
Nicol, who has represented District 5, which includes Lake of the Woods, since 2023, is a former deputy attorney general of the State of Indiana and served as commissioner and deputy commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation. He is currently chief strategy officer for an architecture, engineering and consulting firm. He and his family have lived in Lake of the Woods for 15 years.
Nicol writes a regular report to Orange County residents under the title “Nicol’s News” in Lake Currents.
In addition, the club is preparing to participate in the next “No Kings” rally on March 28 in Culpeper to call attention to excesses of the current administration in Washington. A work session is planned for 4-6 p.m. on March 25 in the lower level of the Clubhouse to prepare posters and placards for the event.
The club has begun its campaign to encourage voting in the special election on April 21 to temporarily allow congressional districts to be redrawn to ensure a fair vote for congressional candidates. The measure is in response to lawmakers in at least three Republican-controlled states adopting mid-decade gerrymanders, redrawing their congressional map to create districts more favorable for GOP candidates. Early voting begins March 6.
