ELIZABETHTOWN — David Kirby added his name to the list of those filing for municipal offices Tuesday.
Kirby is an incumbent commissioner in Dublin seeking re-election.
Voters will go to the polls for the municipal elections across Bladen County on Nov. 5. There is no primary.
The municipal elections do not have any attachment to the special election being held Sept. 10, when the race for the U.S. House of Representatives seat is decided for North Carolina’s Ninth Congressional District. That race is between state Sen. Dan Bishop of the Republican Party, Dan McCready of the Democratic Party, Allen Smith of the Green Party, and Jeff Scott of the Libertarian Party.
With Kirby’s filing, the following municipalities have these candidates through Tuesday’s filing period:
• Bladenboro: Gene Norton, commissioner.
• Clarkton: Arthur Whedbee, mayor.
• Dublin: David Kirby, commissioner.
• Elizabethtown: Sylvia Campbell, mayor; Howell Clark, council; Ricky Leinwand, council; Dicky Glenn, council.
• White Lake: Jay Young, commissioner; Dean Hilton, commissioner; Tim Clifton, commissioner.
Filing takes place at the Board of Elections office, 301 S. Cypress St. in Elizabethtown. The fee is $5 for all municipal races.
Filing is available through Friday this week, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Next week, filing is available the same hours Monday through Thursday, and then is 8:30 a.m. to noon on July 19.
