We sincerely apologize for an incorrect statement made in our article on the Election of the State Committeeman and State Committeewoman in Manatee County that was published on Jul 24, 2012. We had stated that the current officials, David Agee and Peggy Simone, were appointed by the Republican Executive Committee when in fact they were elected by the Republican Executive Committee.

This was an error in our reporting and research and in no way was intentional. We will continue to strive in providing detailed and correct information to our readers. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

Thank you!
