Locklear remains register of deeds

LUMBERTON — Vicki Locklear easily won re-election to her fifth term as register of deeds, beating out her Democratic primary competition Hubert Sealey on Tuesday with more than 77 percent of the vote.

Locklear received 15,149 votes to Sealey’s 4,299.

“I’m so exhausted and I’m happy, and I appreciate Mr. Sealey running a clean race,” Locklear said. “I’m excited and I’m glad it’s over with.”

Because there is no Republican candidate, Locklear will be uncontested in the General Election in November. Locklear has not been challenged in an election since 1996. She has been in the Register of Deeds Office for 22 years, including six as as deputy clerk.

“The county knows me, and they know the type of work and they type of leadership that I have shown over the past 16 years,” Locklear said. “I look forward to getting back to work.”

Sealey is a county commissioner.

i know i didnt vote for her. She doesnt know how to do her job i know from first hand with her. When she tell somebody shes gonna do something she needs too. but then posting your personal business on someones facebook for the world to read saying the fathers name is not on the birth cert is wrong. thats against the law. and when i try to report her ppl said they cant do nothing about it. i think it crap!

I pretended Vicki wasn't a Democrat and voted for her. I like her hair-do. You got to say something for 'Ol Hubert though. He can make you laugh on a bad day just by looking at him.

Happy 236th
Thousands of people were dazzled by the fireworks display at the annual Lumberton Family Fourth celebration at the Lumberton High School football stadium on Tuesday. Many watched the display from parking lots and sidewalks around town and from their own front yards. Before the show, attendees were treated to a performance by the Carolina Breakers, and a stunt by the Army Rangers, who parachuted onto the football field.

I agree with you MadeInBladen. I don't have a problem with them giving money to the communities. Its easy to say what you would do when you're not in that position. Looks like we have a bunch of armchair quarterbacks around here.

Why get rid of the funds, What about the kids who want to play little league and can't afford it? I understand that the commissioners know that it is the taxpayers money and it is going back to the community.

Self imposed impotence, if that's what you want to call it. I call it dereliction of duty, and lying under oath, because they all took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and it's laws. And they have NOT even attempted to follow immigration laws, let along prosecute them when they have been broken. The President and the Attorney General are prime offenders. Votes are at the bottom of any bill that considers amnesty or cutting into line, by border jumpers. It is a slap in the face by those who have done it legally. It also rewards lawbreaking. Just carry out the laws we already have in place. And believe me...there are enough on the books to keep any red-tape bureaucrat rolling in the clover for a long time.

I'd love to believe that but I'm afraid it is too little too late. The discretionary fund show be done away with and their salaries and stipends lowered. They're rushing to pacify and that is all.
