David, Holloway reelected to Dobbins Heights Town Council

Two Dobbins Heights leaders were recently reelected to the Town Council.

Angeline David and Tyré Holloway, who both ran unopposed, each received 69 votes in the Oct. 7 election.

Records show David was marked on 19 ballots during early voting and 50 on Tuesday. Likewise, Holloway received 20 votes early and 49 on election day.

David is entering her fifth term since first being elected to the council in 2006. Holloway, who has been on the council since 2013, also serves as mayor pro tem and has been the town clerk since 2023.

David thanked the voters in a Facebook post for believing in her “as we continue to make changes together.”

The Richmond County Board of Elections is preparing for the upcoming elections in the other municipalities on Nov. 4.

Several of the precinct polling places have recently changed:

• Rockingham No. 2, which used to be Leath Memorial Library, is now the Richmond County Agricultural Services Center (previously referred to as the Cooperative Extension office) on Caroline Street.
• Beaver Dam No. 1 has moved from a church to the Hoffman Recreational Center (former school) on Thompson Street.
• Both precincts in Hamlet have moved from churches. Marks Creek No. 1 is now at the old Ninth Grade Academy on County Home Road, and Marks Creek No. 2 is now the Richmond County Schools Central Office.

Elections Director Shannon Hearne said the board is trying to move away from private facilities and into government buildings.

Early voting for the elections in Rockingham, Hamlet, Ellerbe and Hoffman begins next week at the Agricultural Services Center. The schedule is as follows:

• Oct. 16-17 - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
• Oct. 20-24 - 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
