{"biography":"Steven Jeffery Carter is a Republican candidate seeking a seat on the Alamance County Board of Commissioners in the March\u202f3,\u202f2026 primary election. The Board of Commissioners governs county operations, adopts budgets, and sets policy for services such as public safety, health, and infrastructure, as required of all North Carolina county commissioners. Carter\u2019s candidacy is listed on the official Ballotpedia candidate roster for the 2026 race, where he appears among five Republicans on the ballot for two available seats[1].\n\nBallotpedia notes that no biographical details\u2014such as education or prior employment\u2014have been supplied for Carter[1]. However, a 2018 live\u2011blog from the Elon News Network identifies him as \u201cSteven J. Carter (R),\u201d describing him as the leader of the Alamance Conservatives, a local Tea Party\u2011aligned group, and stating that his campaign focus is on achieving the lowest possible tax rate for county residents[12]. The same source reported that, following unofficial results from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, Carter was projected to join incumbent Amy Galey on the Board of Commissioners after the 2018 election, indicating prior experience as a county commissioner[12].\n\nCarter\u2019s public statements emphasize fiscal conservatism, specifically a commitment to reducing the county tax burden. His leadership of the Alamance Conservatives suggests ongoing involvement in grassroots conservative activism within the county. No additional campaign platform details or endorsements have been documented in the available sources[1][12].\n\nWhile official contact information is limited, Ballotpedia provides an email address for the candidate\u2014steve.carter@alamancecountync.gov\u2014offering a direct line for constituents to reach him[1]. No phone number or dedicated campaign website is listed in the sources consulted.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Steve Carter (Alamance County Board of Commissioners, North Carolina, candidate 2026) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Steve_Carter_(Alamance_County_Board_of_Commissioners,_North_Carolina,_candidate_2026))\n- [2] [North Carolina elections, 2026 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_elections,_2026)\n- [6] [Upcoming Election | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/upcoming-election)\n- [7] [Candidate Lists | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/results-data/candidate-lists)\n- [8] [2026 Election United States House - North Carolina - District 06 - FEC.gov](https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/house/NC/06/2026/)\n- [9] [Candidate Profiles \u2013 NC Voter Guide](https://ncvoterguide.org/profiles/)\n- [10] [See the full list of candidates running in North Carolina's ...](https://www.facebook.com/thecharlotteobserver/posts/see-the-full-list-of-candidates-running-in-north-carolinas-2026-electionsread-mo/1306299098202723/)\n- [12] [Alamance County Board of Commissioners Live Blog - Elon News Network](https://www.elonnewsnetwork.com/article/2018/11/alamance-county-board-of-commissioners-live-blog)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission","county":"alamance","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Alamance County Board Of Commissioners"},{"contest":"county_commission","county":"alamance","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Alamance County Board Of Commissioners"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Steven","fullname":"Steven Jeffery Carter","lastname":"Carter","middlename":"Jeffery","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission","contest_title":"Alamance County Board Of Commissioners","county":"alamance","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"alamance","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},{"contest":"county_commission","contest_title":"Alamance County Board Of Commissioners","county":"alamance","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"alamance","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"alamance","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_commission","contest_title":"Alamance County Board Of Commissioners","county":"alamance","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"alamance","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"REP","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Steven Jeffery Carter is a Republican candidate for the Alamance County Board of Commissioners in 2026, emphasizing low taxes and leading a local Tea Party group.","terms":[],"token":"2c62e0c680b6bc2a"}
