Jill Nelson Berlin

Jill Nelson Berlin is the Republican candidate for the Winston‑Salem/Forsyth County Schools Board of Education, District 2, on the November 3, 2026 general‑election ballot in Forsyth County, North Carolina. The board of education governs the public school system, setting policy, approving the district budget, overseeing curriculum decisions, and hiring the superintendent, duties that are typical for county school boards in the state [1].

Berlin advanced from the March 3, 2026 Republican primary, finishing second with 5,578 votes (11.8 % of the primary total), behind Robert Weiss and ahead of several other contenders; the primary was closely contested and triggered recount‑level margins for the next‑place finishers [1][11]. She is listed on the general‑election ballot alongside three other Republicans and four Democrats for the four seats in District 2 [1].

During the campaign, Berlin received endorsements from state Republicans State Senator Dana Caudill Jones and former State Senator Joyce Krawiec [1]. No campaign‑specific platform details or prior public‑service experience are provided in the available sources.

Berlin’s candidacy is recorded in the North Carolina State Board of Elections candidate lists, though the publicly released files do not include her personal contact information such as email or phone number [4]. No official campaign website or candidate portrait image is linked in the sources examined.
