There is a special election being held today to fill the position vacated by Rebecca Hale. The residents of Ward 2 will vote to select a new representative. They will be choosing between Deborah Gallagher and Jay McGraw. It is rare to have two well-loved, well-respected individuals running for the same position. It's going to be a tough choice for the residents of Ward 2 because both of the candidates will be a welcomed addition to this administration. Good luck and regardless of who wins, it seems that Ward 2 will have a winner representing them at the next board meeting. Hopefully, the winner of this special election won't change after taking the oath of office or at least remember the oath while voting on issues of the city.

ReplyDeleteWe paid thousands of dollars for 43 people to come out and vote. Rebecca has left Lumberton and she's still costing us money. Damb
