Tea Party Tips its Cup to Boff

The Forsyth County Tea Party (FCTP) has endorsed Jim Boff, Commission Chairman, who is running for re-election in District 5.

The 400-member party made it official last week.

"He has done an excellent job representing the interests of the citizens of Forsyth County, especially in the water negotiations," said newly elected Tea Party Chairman Hal Schneider in a press release. "His votes are always in the interest of the county and not the special interest groups that control some of the other commissioners. He is a fiscal conservative and definitely for limited government."

Boff, a conservative Republican, said he is honored to receive the support of the FCTP.

"The Tea Party is a grassroots organization that has grown into a meaningful group of citizens and voters, and I was thrilled to learn Tuesday evening [June 19] that I was endorsed unanimously by the Tea Party as their candidate for the District 5 commission seat," he said.

"The support of any voter or group is a humbling experience in and of itself and I value this as we continue to campaign for forthright, conservative and open governance in Forsyth County," said Boff.

Boff, a retired executive in the field of technical sales support of voice, data and optical fiber equipment, and his wife, Cindy, have two daughters Emily and Lillian. The family attends .
