Kimble is the incumbent North Carolina District Court Judge for District 11, Seat\u202f3, a term that runs through December\u202f31,\u202f2026, and he is listed as the Republican candidate for that judgeship in the 2026 general election held on November\u202f3,\u202f2026 [11].\n\nKimble\u2019s most recent electoral activity began in 2022, when he entered the Republican primary for the North Carolina 11th Judicial District. He appeared on the May\u202f17,\u202f2022 primary ballot alongside Brian E.\u202fLewis, seeking the same district\u2011court seat he now holds [1].\n\nPublic records identify Kimble\u2019s current office as a district\u2011court judgeship, a trial\u2011level position within North Carolina\u2019s judicial system that handles a range of civil and criminal matters. While specific details of his legal career or prior professional experience are not provided in the available sources, his election to the bench indicates that he met the statutory qualifications for judges in the state, which include being a licensed attorney and a resident of the district.\n\nKimble did not complete Ballotpedia\u2019s 2022 Candidate Connection survey, so no formal statement of policy positions or campaign platform is on file [1]. The absence of a completed survey means that voters must rely on other public statements or official campaign materials for insight into his priorities as a judge and candidate.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Jason P.
