{"biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\n\nTrevor Lance is the incumbent Mayor Pro Tem of the Town of Fletcher and a member of the Fletcher Town Council representing District 4; he is running for re-election to the District 4 seat in the November 3, 2026 general election [1][2].\n\n## Office history\n\nLance was first elected to the Fletcher Town Council District 4 seat in 2021, defeating Erik Weber 682 votes to 613 (52.62%) in what was, at the time, the highest-turnout municipal election in Fletcher's history, succeeding Eddie Henderson, who did not seek re-election [3]. During that campaign he said he would \"strive to maintain the current small-town feel\" of Fletcher and opposed growth financed through tax increases and use of eminent domain [3]. He has since become Mayor Pro Tem [1].\n\n## Sources\n[1] [Town Council - Town of Fletcher, North Carolina](https://www.fletchernc.org/town-government/town-council/)\n[2] [Here's the final candidate list for 2026 elections - Hendersonville Lightning](https://www.hendersonvillelightning.com/four-seasons-politics/15729-elx-4.html)\n[3] [Incumbent Sheila Franklin keeps seat on Fletcher Town Council; Trevor Lance wins District 4 - Yahoo News](https://www.yahoo.com/news/incumbent-sheila-franklin-keeps-seat-153851133.html)","campaigns":[{"contest":"fletcher_town_town_council_district_04","county":"henderson","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Town Of Fletcher Town Council District 04"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Trevor","fullname":"Trevor Cheney Lance","lastname":"Lance","middlename":"Cheney","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"fletcher_town_town_council_district_04","contest_title":"Town Of Fletcher Town Council District 04","county":"henderson","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"henderson","office_key":"town_council","office_title":"Town Council Member","party":"","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"henderson","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"fletcher_town_town_council_district_04","contest_title":"Town Of Fletcher Town Council District 04","county":"henderson","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"henderson","office_key":"town_council","office_title":"Town Council Member","party":"","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"town_council","office_title":"Town Council Member","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Trevor Cheney Lance is a candidate for Fletcher Town Council District\u202f04 in the 2026 North Carolina general election.","terms":[],"token":"0d5c9a51cdd5eaa9"}
