π³οΈ After hitting poling places in the northen part of the county with no success I headed to Mount Olive to look for people campaigning...and can I tell you this warmed my heart.
Almost every candidate running for town commissioner was set up outside of the train depot with smiles on their faces. They were there to greet and say "hello," gain a few votes, but most importantly just to show up. Not only were they talking to the candidates they could be working with, but they were interacting positively with their opponents.
Those of you who are following the news know that the Town of Mount Olive has become a bit "messy" and I truly believe this is the kind of energy it will take to fix it. To the winners I say "It's going to be a long road, but you'll make it" and to those who didn't get the results they hoped for I say "If you were running to make a difference, find ways to support those who were chosen."
