| (09/16/2002) |
 Nettles honored before Jefferson-Jackson crowd Several thousand West Virginia Democrats came out, the party faithful, to the annual Jefferson-Jackson Day Dinner in Charleston Saturday Night. The Charleston Civic Center was filled, wall-to-wall. Calhoun County Assessor Jason Nettles was honored as Democrat of the Year, likely the youngest elected official in West Virginia. Nettles spoke about his political hero, President Harry Truman, who he said "Kept government close to the interests of the American people."
 A huge crowd attends Charleston event "I believe in the Democrat Party. It has always been the party of the working class and the underprivileged since the days of Andrew Jackson," he said. The dinner was in honor of Senator Jay Rockefeller IV, with well known U. S. Senator Barbara A. Kikulski, the keynote speaker.
