Elections
2016
- See also: Moore County Schools elections (2016)
A decision made in 2015 to reduce the size of the Moore County Schools school board caused two at-large incumbents—Libby Carter and Pam Thompson—to vie for a single at-large seat on the board in the 2016 election. Following the general election on November 8, 2016, the board eliminated one of its at-large seats, changing to a composition of five district seats and two at-large seats. All members were elected countywide. In order to achieve the reduction, the terms of Carter and Thompson, both of whom were appointed in 2015 to fill unexpired terms for two seats, ended. The incumbents competed for the one at-large seat left on the board; the other is held by Ed Dennison, whose term is not up until 2018.[1]
A total of five of the seven seats on the Moore County Schools school board were up for general election. The District I seat of Stacey Caldwell, District II seat of Helena Wallin-Miller, District IV seat of Laura Lang, District V seat of Bruce Cunningham, and an at-large seat were up for election. Nine candidates, five of whom were incumbents, filed for this election. In District I, Caldwell defeated challenger Billy Marts. In District II, Wallin-Miller ran for re-election unopposed and won. District IV saw two newcomers vying for the open seat: Betty Brown and Angela Davis, with Brown winning the seat. In District V, Cunningham won against challenger B.J. Goodridge. Incumbent Carter defeated fellow board member Thompson in the at-large race.[2][3]
