Almost one hundred Seadrift residents voted in the recent city election. Forty-three early votes were received and on election day (May 7) forty-nine votes were received. Mayor Elmer DeForest received seventy-three votes. He was running unopposed.

It was a tight race for the three men running for the two out of five positions on the Seadrift City Council. The winners were Ranier Brigham who garnered fifty-six votes and Eldon Gaines who got fifty-two. Byron Smith had a return of forty-four votes.

Our hats off to the winners!
