Brunswick County man enters Congressional race

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Another candidate says he plans to run for Mike McIntyre’s seat in Congress next year.

Tim Wilkes of Supply says he plans to take on Ilario Pantano in the Republican primary. Wilkes described himself as “a hardworking family man.”

An Army veteran, he said he plans to run a campaign that mirrors how he and his wife run their own home and how they would like government to work, by spending only money on hand and replacing dollars spent with hard work.
