My Turn: Honoring the living legacy of Washington's VFW Post 6088

Since 1940, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) E.B. (Red) Brinson Memorial Post 6088, located on River Road, has served as the heartbeat of the local veteran community. For the combat veterans who call the post their "home away from home," it is more than four walls and a canteen and their mission has never ended; it has simply evolved. Today, these local patriots continue to dedicate their time, energy, and personal funds to support fellow service members, the broader Beaufort County community and beyond.

Pittman earns another two-year term in NC House

Voters in N.C. House District 24 chose experience and continuity at the ballot box, returning Democratic incumbent N.C. Rep. Dante Pittman to Raleigh for another two-year term in the legislature. Pittman secured his reelection with 18,017 votes, earning 58.26% of the vote. His Republican opponent, Blake Boykin, received 12,910 votes, or 41.74%, according to unofficial election results. District 24 encompasses all of Wilson and the southeastern corner of Nash County. In Nash County, Boykin fared much better, taking 61.14% of the total votes cast in the Sharpsburg precinct, which accounted for 1,158 votes. Pittman garnered 736 votes in the Sharpsburg precinct (38.86% of the total votes cast in Nash County). Tuesday’s outcome means Pittman will continue representing District 24 in the N.C. House, with the Democrats poised to take the majority control of that chamber if unofficial vote tallies hold after canvassing. News outlets reported that Republicans will still hold a majority in the N.C. Senate. Tuesday’s race drew nearly 30,927 votes, reflecting strong voter participation in the district for a midterm contest. In 2022, the last time Nash and Wilson counties’ voters went to the polls in a midterm election, the N.C. House District 24 race garnered 27,889 votes.

Beulaville town manager to retire

BEULAVILLE — Town Manager Lori Williams announced her retirement during the Beulaville Board of Commissioners meeting on Monday, Nov. 2. Subsequently, the board voted to advertise for her position as quickly as possible, although Williams said her last day is not until June 30. She has worked for the town for 30 years, starting as a utility clerk, and over the years has held several other positions, including tax collector, town clerk/finance officer, interim town manager, and her latest role of town manager. “Right now I don’t have any big plans,” she said. “I have mixed feelings about it because I had been here that many years. It’s going to be a big adjustment, but I think it’s time.” Those interested in applying for the position can contact Town Hall for more details. The position has also been advertised on the town of Beulaville's Facebook page. “Anyone who knows Lori knows how much she loves this town. For more than 30 years, from her early roles to serving as town manager, she has never treated it as just a job,” said Mayor Hutch Jones. “She cares about Beulaville and the people in it, and she has given this town her

In Conetoe, leaders call for relief as costs rise across region

On a beautiful afternoon in rural Edgecombe County, a crowd gathered under the late‑season sun to hear a message that has become impossible to ignore across eastern North Carolina: Families are hurting, and area leaders say the state must do more. The event last month brought together Gov. Josh Stein; N.C. Rep. Dante Pittman, D-24th District; N.C. Sen. Kandie Smith, D-5th District; Democratic N.C. Rep.-elect Lorenza Wilkins, who will represent the 25th District; and others, each offering a different vantage point on the same reality. Rising costs are squeezing households, small businesses and congregations alike. Speakers advocated for more than temporary political gestures to meet the moment. Jess Rivera, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and small business owner, opened the event with a message shaped by months of listening sessions across Greene, Wayne, and Wilson counties. Rivera, a Democrat, ousted incumbent N.C. Sen. Buck Newton, R-4th District, in Tuesday’s midterm election, riding a blue wave to victory that also resulted in Republicans losing majority control of the N.C. House. “Everything, and I mean everything, is more expensive,” Rivera said. “Food, gas, the coffee I drank this morning, utilities, healthcare costs — it’s all too much.” Rivera, describing the pressure on
