Jim and Judy Davis hug when the last two precincts in Jackson County break for him and give him the win in his race for NC Senate against John Snow. 

If this victory stands, then the Macon County Republican Party Executive Committee will be deciding who will replace Jim Davis on the Macon County Board of Commissioners. Jim Davis is currently serving as the Vice Chairman of that body. The Macon GOP Executive Committee will be meeting on Thursday and will take up the appointment then.
