Pelham said, when asked about an open-door policy, ?I feel this is the only way an elected official can serve the people. When you are elected by the people, you belong to the people. Open door does not mean restricted or confined to a few ? it is free access to all on equal terms.?

Pelham went on to say, ?I feel I have the experience and commitment to serve the people of Warren County. I have new ideas to be put into place that will better serve our taxpayers.?

Pelham said she plans to meet as many people as possible before election.
?I will see as many people as possible between now and the primary, but if I don?t see you I am asking for your vote and support May 2 in the Democratic Primary.?
