Voters across Columbus County will go to the polls Nov. 7 to choose mayors and local board members.
Municipal governing boards, which are typically led by mayors, are responsible for using taxpayers’ money to fund services such as law enforcement and trash collection. They also have the final say over proposed development projects, including new homes and businesses, within town limits.
Here are the candidates.
