State Rep. Bonner Stiller will leave the legislature on June 15.

The Oak Island Republican, who has served since 2002, said he needs to spend more time with his family and his Southport law firm.

Republican officials in District 17 will choose Stiller's replacement later this month, and Gov. Beverly Perdue will officially appoint their selection. (WS-N)

Stiller said he gave notice on June 3 after thinking about it for several months.

"I do it with a smile and with great humility," he said. "I'm not leaving under any cloud."

He speculated that former Brunswick County GOP chairman Frank Iler of Oak Island would be a front runner. Iler confirmed he is running. (Brunswick Beacon)
