By Josh Davis, Associate Editor

(April 4, 2019) Voters will have plenty of options to choose from when they go to the polls for the 2019 Snow Hill General Election.

According to a Town of Snow Hill press release issued last Friday, the following candidates filed before the March 29 deadline:

Mayor: Gary Weber, Richard Thompson and Catherine Freeman.

Central District Council: incumbent Jenny Hall, Richard Mitchell and Melisa Weidner.

Western District Council: incumbent LaToya Purnell, Andrew Richards, Mark Nixon and Donald Cheeseman.

Current Snow Hill Mayor Stephen Mathews fulfilled an earlier promise not to run for election.

Mathews was appointed to replace Charlie Dorman as mayor last October. He previously served 14 years in office, beginning in 1998.

The Snow Hill General Election is scheduled Tuesday, May 7 at the Belt Street train station. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
