HIGH ROCK LAKE
A personality familiar to Triad television viewers for many years will run next year as a Republican for a seat on the Davidson County Board of Commissioners.
Caron Myers, a former reporter for WGHP/FOX8, will make her first bid for public office. Myers currently serves as the executive director of Davidson County Cancer Services.
The candidate filing period for next year's elections takes place in February.
"Even though I was born and raised in Florida, this area has adopted me as one of their own," Myers said. "Now that I am not a reporter after 25 years of journalism, I'm now in a position for the first time in my life that I can do something like this."
Myers, who has lived in the county 20 years, said she believes that she can provide leadership to help move Davidson County forward.
"I think I'm somebody that's got a new perspective," she said.
Myers, who was with FOX8 for nine years, lives on High Rock Lake -- an outlook she says she believes would benefit the board of commissioners.
"High Rock Lake is one of the most valuable assets we have in Davidson County. The southern part of the county where I live needs more representation," she said.
Voters will fill four of the seven board of commissioners seats next year. Three of the seats are held by Republican incumbents.
