Derwin Montgomery becomes state representative

On Monday, Nov. 5, the Winston-Salem City Council bid farewell to Derwin Montgomery as he stepped down as East Ward City Council member and was sworn in as the representative for the 72nd District in the N.C. General Assembly.

He will be replaced on the City Council by Annette Scippio, who will be sworn in on Nov. 26.
