Raleigh City Council member James West has emerged as the likely successor to resigning Wake County Board of Commissioners member Harold Webb, a Democratic party official said today.
West, the councilman for Raleigh's District C in east and south Raleigh since 1999, has served as the council's mayor pro tem since 2003. Webb, 85, wrote a letter of resignation to fellow commission members on Wednesday.
"Although I will certainly miss the day to day responsibilities of the office, I will cherish and remember with fondness the friends made during my time on the board and the many accomplishments we were able to implement for the betterment of Wake County," Webb wrote.
