Former County Commissioner Stan Deatherage (R, Conservative) seeks election to the Beaufort County Board of County Commissioners.

    Beaufort County native and former Beaufort County Commissioner Stan Deatherage filed Monday, February 26, 2018, for his Party's nomination as a Republican candidate for the Beaufort County Commission. When Deatherage filed, he became the third Republican candidate to file, with merely two days left to file. The three Republican and two Democrat candidates will be competing for three available seats.

    Deatherage served two, four-year terms on the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners, from 1994 to 2002; voluntarily took two years off; then, in 2004, was nominated by the Republican Party to run in a special election to win the right to serve the remaining two years of Carol Cochran's term; after being elected, in 2004, for that third two-year term, was elected for two consecutive four-year terms, until 2014. In the 2014 primary election, Deatherage was defeated in the Republican primary, and could not stand for re-election, after winning five consecutive previous general elections.

    Deatherage did not seek election in 2016, when the commissioners staggered the election process within the construct of its Limited Voting method, which provided four vacant seats. Deatherage did not plan to run in this 2018 election until very recently.

    Deatherage explained: "After much urging from many Republicans, Independents and Democrats, and some small measure of 'soul searching,' I have decided to file for my Party's nomination for Beaufort County's Board of Commissioners. After losing my Party's nomination in 2014, I truly believed that I would never again heed the call to rejoin this measure of public service. However, without hesitation of total commitment, I have gone and done it; paid the $167 filing fee and am ready, if elected, to perform a job I understand well to the core of my purposeful being.

    After so many years serving the people of Beaufort County with honesty and all the integrity I could muster, I will humbly seek those folks, who desire my committed service, to support my candidacy; to become my constituents, and lend their political voice to my candidacy to win our right to rein in Beaufort County's expanding bureaucracy, to make better policy choices to enact a more sustainable future, and offer real oversight over The People's government. If elected, as my constituent's constant voice, I will govern to make Beaufort County government smaller, more nimble in its approach to fairly governing all our citizens, in equal application of our immense constitutional power; in summary, to perform all within my ascribed power to make Beaufort County a community that deserves to be revered as a fine place to live, and rear our future generations to deserve a brighter future."
