Lumberton City Council members Melissa Robinson, John Carroll, John Cantey, and Owen Thomas have been reelected.
Each candidate was the only name on the ballot and won by a wide margin.
In Precinct 5, John Cantey won with 202 votes, over 88% of the total, despite two write-in campaigns by Keith Copeland and Darryl Genus.
“First and foremost, I’d like to thank God, all of our church families, civic groups and especially the residents of Precinct 5 for entrusting me to a sixth term as their representative,”
John Cantey, the senior member of the council, has served since 2005 and won a sixth term.
