Residents of New Bern’s sixth Ward have until Friday to submit letters of interest and resumés for the open Alderman seat.
Last week, the New Bern Board of Aldermen set Aug. 23, 2024 at 5 p.m. as the deadline to submit letters of interest and resumés for the open Ward 6 seat.
So far, former Mayor Dana Outlaw, Trevor Dunnell, Ashley Smith and Barton Lewis Phillips have expressed interest in filling the position. The names were listed in the order emails were received by the city.

A press release from the City of New Bern said, “If you are interested in serving ward 6, please email a letter of interest and resumé to Brenda Blanco, City Clerk, at blancob@newbernnc.gov or call 252-639-2701.”
