Neal chosen to replace Pinnix in Kernersville election
Due to the death of Kernersville Alderman Joe Pinnix on Oct. 14, one major change has been made to the Kernersville Board of Aldermen election but not to the ballot that voters will see.
Because Pinnix was a Republican running for re-election, the Forsyth County Republican Executive Committee met Oct. 20, with members who are also residents of Kernersville voting to determine who the replacement candidate will be in the election. The committee chose Irving Neal, a former alderman.
But the ballots for the election had already been printed, so the Forsyth County Board of Elections was unable to remove Pinnix from the ballot, Town Clerk Keith Hooker said in an email to the Kernersville News.
