On Tuesday, Wilmington voters reelected their mayor and two incumbent councilmen and propelled a first-time candidate to the top spot in the polls. WHQR’s spoke with the winners.
Incumbents had a strong showing across municipalities in New Hanover County, while across the river Leland will see some new faces. The evening had some tight races, with a significantly higher turnout than the last local election, but there don't appear to be any major recounts on the horizon.
