Dr. Hank Parfitt and former State Rep. Diane Parfitt are hosting a reception for Fayetteville/Cumberland County resident Dr. Sarah Taber, the Democratic candidate for North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture.
The event will occur on May 15, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., at the City Center Gallery & Books in Downtown Fayetteville.
The event will be a historic moment and celebration since Dr. Taber will be the first candidate from Cumberland County to run for a statewide office since the late Senator Tony Rand in 1988.
She is also the first woman ever to run statewide from Cumberland County. The reception supports her efforts to become the new NC Agriculture Commissioner.
Taber is a homegrown and well-known crop scientist with 26 years of agriculture experience working with North Carolina farmers and the food industry, assisting and advising them in producing quality crops vital to building successful businesses. Taber’s priorities are promoting North Carolina Agriculture and supporting NC farmers and the farm industry.
