Terry Lane Williams

Terry Lane Williams is the Republican candidate for the Beaufort County Board of Education District 4 seat in the 2026 North Carolina general election (Nov 3, 2026). The District 4 seat is one of four geographic seats on the Beaufort County Board of Education, the body that governs the county’s public schools and sets district‑wide policy and budget priorities [1].

Williams previously sought the same seat in the 2022 election, appearing on the general‑election ballot on Nov 8, 2022 as the Republican nominee for District 4 [1]. The Ballotpedia record shows that he did not complete the Candidate Connection survey for either the 2022 or 2024 cycles, and no campaign‑specific themes or platform statements are publicly listed on that page [1].

Publicly available biographical details about Williams are limited. The Ballotpedia entry does not provide information on his education, professional background, or prior public service. The only contact information supplied is an email address (tecahely@hotmail.com) listed for outreach to the candidate [1]. No phone number, campaign website, or official portrait image is provided in the sources.

As a candidate for the Board of Education, Williams would be responsible, if elected, for participating in board meetings, voting on matters such as curriculum adoption, school budgeting, personnel decisions, and policy development that affect the quality and operation of Beaufort County’s public schools. These duties are inherent to the role of a board member as defined by the county’s education governance structure [1].

Williams’ prior candidacy in 2022 indicates experience with the electoral process for this office, though the outcome of that race is not detailed in the available source. No specific legislative or community accomplishments are documented for him in the provided material. Voters seeking more information are encouraged to contact him via the listed email address.
