John Miller was a candidate for District 2 representative on the Iredell-Statesville Schools Board of Education in North Carolina. Miller lost the primary election on March 15, 2016.
Elections
2016
Three of the seven seats on the Iredell-Statesville Schools school board—Districts 2, 4 and 6—were up for general election on November 8, 2016. A Republican primary for District 2 was held March 15, 2016. This election, the first to follow the passage of House Bill 110 in 2015, marked the first partisan contest for the district.
Three Republican newcomers filed for the District 2 race, necessitating a primary election to reduce the field of candidates for the general election: Steven Hatley, Bill Howell and John Miller. Howell won the primary and defeated Nickey Mott (D) in the general election. Incumbent David Cash did not file to seek re-election to the District 2 seat, guaranteeing at least one newcomer would join the board.
In District 4, incumbent Charles Aubrey Gallyon II (D) originally faced challenger Ryan Pegarsch (R). However, when Pegarsch moved out of the district he withdrew from the race. Newcomer Doug Knight replaced him as the Republican candidate on the ballot. Gallyon II defeated Knight. In District 6, incumbent Charles Sherrill Kelly (R) successfully defended his spot on the board against LaVerne Zachary (D).[1][2][3]
