PORT TOWNSEND — Jefferson County Republicans on Saturday elected four delegates for Arizona Sen. John McCain and two for U.S. Rep. Ron Paul.
The delegates are eligible to represent the county party at the state GOP convention May 29-31 in Spokane.
The preferences of the elected delegates reflect the political divide between supporters of McCain, who has enough delegates nationwide to get the nomination for president, and those for Paul.
After three rounds of voting, the 51 delegates who had been elected during February caucuses, were narrowed down to six delegates and six alternate delegates.
The delegates are county Auditor Donna Eldridge, Richard Hild, Edel Sokol, Mike Burkart, Bruce Glenn and Larry Hovde.
Alternate delegates elected were Jerry Lindsey, Daphane Kilburn, Peggy Reep, Judi Stewart, Reta Blanck and Gordon Shadburne.
A 2008 party platform was resoundingly adopted.
