Several candidates were on hand and spoke about their need for votes and support, some for the Primary, some, with no party opposition, for the vote and hard work needed to win in November.
Chairman Tyson reminded all attendees that all the candidates running in Primary Elections had pledged to fully support the Party choices in order to win in November.
Renee Sisk, currently a member of the Craven County Board of Commissioners, reassured everyone that the Board was working to make sure that the new tax rate would be lowered to assure a minimal impact in light of the new values put in place by the Tax Office. Welcome News for many in the room.
