Wilmington mayor Bill Saffo and Wrightsville Beach mayor Bill Blair will be unopposed on the November ballot as they seek new terms in office, according to information on the New Hanover County Board of Elections website Friday.

By the deadline at noon Friday, a total of 28 area residents had filed to run for municipal offices in New Hanover County, the board of elections website shows.

In the other two mayoral races, incumbents will have competition. Bob Lewis is challenging Carolina Beach mayor Dan Wilcox, while Emilie Swearingen is running against Kure Beach mayor Dean Lambeth.

There will be only two names on the ballot for the two open seats on Wrightsville Beach’s Board of Aldermen. Current members Elizabeth King and Darryl Mills are seeking re-election to their posts.
