Letter to the editor: Time for new representation

First published in the Brunswick Beacon, 04.02.26

North Carolina District 17 needs new representation in our General Assembly. For the past 17 years Frank Iler has been our representative. Mr. Iler is now 84-years-old and it’s time for new representation.

Overdevelopment and lack of infrastructure are two problems that are most concerning to local residents. They should be made aware that 40% of Mr. Iler’s campaign donations are from realtors, construction companies and such. Although 75% of North Carolina children attend public schools, Mr. Iler has supported diverting needed funding to private school vouchers. Those voucher funds are given with no oversight!

There is now a new and outstanding alternative to Mr. Iler. That is Dennis Breen. Mr. Breen is a resident of Carolina Shores. He is a lawyer and was once named one of America’s top 100 attorneys. Mr. Breen is semi-retired but is an active member of his community. He coaches inmates at the Brunswick County jail regarding job-hunting.

Mr. Breen will work for improved infrastructure, controlled development, better schools, cleaner water, individual rights and the things Brunswick County residents want and need! Please consider Dennis Breen.
