Sources indicate that former Knox County Commissioner, husband of County Commissioner Sharon Cawood and current Bailiff Mark Cawood notified Knox County Democrat Chairman Don Daugherty yesterday that he has resigned his position on the Knox County Democrat Party’s Board of Governors.

Cawood served on the Board of Governors as the male representative for the Sixth district. His resignation will leave Sue Stewart as the sole representative of the Sixth district until the Board of Governors can meet and replace Cawood.
