Phillip Gilfus appointed Cumberland County Commissioner

Well, it's been a day, folks. And that was after quite a night on Thursday.
On Monday, March 1 at 9 am in the Board of Commissioners chamber at the Cumberland County Courthouse, I will be sworn-in as the newest Cumberland County Commissioner, At-Large. I may have to dig up some history books...but after some discussion with people in the know, I believe I will be making history, at the age of 29, as the youngest commissioner in Cumberland County history. When I am sworn in, I believe I will also be the only attorney serving as an elected local government official in the county (to include our municipalities).
Last night's vote of the county executive committee was full of excitement, drama, suspense ... and, ultimately, victory. But that elation must quickly turn into dedication into getting the job done for the citizens of my county.
So keep me in your thoughts as I begin the transition. I will work hard in the next few months, showing Cumberland County that I'm here to work for them, and I hope they will reward me in November by electing me to my own four-year term.
It'll be a fun Nov. 2010, BlueNC.
Congratulations, Phillip!
You're an inspiration to us all. Excellent news.
Do good. Be nice. Have fun.

Congrats...."I think"
But then having served as a republican county commissioner (Carteret), and knowing what you're in for, it may be "condolences."
