Ayden mayor grateful for voters’ trust
Ayden Mayor Steve Tripp won his fourth term with 68 percent of the vote, defeating challenger Ivey Mewborn 750 votes to 347 votes.
Tripp, who won his fourth mayoral term, said his win is a statement that the citizens of Ayden want to continue a journey started six years ago.
“I am a servant of the citizens of Ayden and I am grateful for the trust they have placed in me. Now I am ready to roll up my sleeves and continue that journey by working with our commissioners to fulfill the plans we have initiated for our town.”
That includes starting work on a new 10-year comprehensive plan to guide the town’s growth.
“The key thing is citizen input and that will be what guides our journey in the next 10 years,” Tripp said.
