Dear friends,
Congratulations to all who have emerged victorious and my condolences to those who fought the good fight but came up short this time. Primaries are particularly grueling, running against your own party. I am gratified, however, to have had the opportunity to spend a good deal of time with great people, both the candidates and the unsung soldiers who helped out every day of the campaign, all who care very deeply about our community. You are all dedicated, honorable citizens who deserve the gratitude and respect of your fellow Wilmingtonians.
My best of luck to all, those moving on and those moving up, as the season moves into the final push. The community will be better off for your commitment and sacrifices made by each of you and we will be fortunate to have you continuing to serve in whatever capacity.
I am humbled by the effort of the many who gave their time and resources to my campaign. While I got most of the headlines, they are the true heroes with the same deep feelings and love for our people and our way of life that make our country great. Your friendship, dedication, enthusiasm, and resolve will always motivate me give me strength.
May God continue to bless you and keep you.
Deepest thanks to you all,
Steve Bilzi
Candidate for New Hanover County Board of Education
