Christopher Travis "Chris" Perry is a candidate for the Franklin County Schools Board of Education, representing District 5 in Franklin County, North Carolina. The race is nonpartisan and the primary election was held on March 3, 2026, where Perry appeared on the ballot alongside D. Ashley Cooper and Jonathan Vanderford [1].
The Franklin County Board of Education governs the public K‑12 schools in the county, setting policy, approving budgets, and overseeing the superintendent. Candidates for the board must file with the North Carolina State Board of Elections, meet residency requirements within the district, and run in a nonpartisan primary unless a runoff is required. Perry met the filing deadline and was listed on the official candidate roster for the 2026 primary, confirming his eligibility for the office [1][7].
Ballotpedia’s profile for Perry contains no biographical details such as education, employment history, or community involvement; the site explicitly notes that it did not receive biographical information for this candidate [1]. Likewise, no endorsements or campaign themes have been recorded for Perry, and he did not complete Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey, which would have provided additional insight into his priorities [1].
The only contact information associated with the Ballotpedia entry is a generic email address (JCSDAD12@YAHOO.COM) provided for voters to request that Perry fill out the Candidate Connection survey; this is not a personal campaign email for Perry himself [1]. No phone number, personal email, or campaign website is listed in the available state candidate lists or the Ballotpedia page [7].
Because the public record does not include a photograph, Ballotpedia only displays placeholder images, and no candidate portrait is available for Perry at this time [1].
In summary, Christopher Travis Perry is a formally filed, nonpartisan candidate for the Franklin County Schools District 5 board, with limited publicly disclosed personal or campaign information beyond his inclusion on the 2026 primary ballot.
