NEW HANOVER COUNTY — Harry Knight joins a crowded field vying for three seats on the county’s board of commissioners.
Three seats are up for election in 2020, two of the seats are uncontested as current commissioners Woody White and Patricia Kusek have both announced they will not seek reelection; Commissioner Jonathan Barfield has filed to run for reelection.
According to Knight, he has lived and worked in the county since early 2000 when he transferred as part of his employment in the nuclear industry. Knight’s wife, Kathy, worked for GE and is a local realtor. The couple’s daughter, Kady, graduates from the New Hanover County School district, Campbell University, and Liberty University (with a Master’s Degree).
