Recount confirms Wilcox wins Carolina Beach mayor race

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A recount of the votes in the Nov. 5 election in Carolina Beach confirms Dan Wilcox has won the town’s race for mayor by seven votes.

Wilcox defeated incumbent Bob Lewis, who called for the recount, but did not show up to the New Hanover County Government Center this morning for it.

Carolina Beach Town Council appointed Lewis mayor in December 2012 after Mayor Ray Rothrock resigned.
