{"biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\nJewel Jackson Calhoun ran in the nonpartisan election for Edgecombe County Board of Education, District 7, held March 3, 2026. She was narrowly defeated by Crystal Ann Wimes-Anderson, 361 votes (49.3%) to 352 votes (48.1%). North Carolina's nonpartisan county school board elections in Edgecombe County are decided outright at this election with no November continuation, so Calhoun does not appear on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot [1].\n\n## Background\nAccording to the North Carolina voter file, Jewel Jackson Calhoun is a registered voter in Edgecombe County, North Carolina, registered since 2022 (4 years), with party affiliation listed as Democratic [2].\n\nThe voter file shows Jewel Jackson Calhoun's year of birth as 1973; NC publishes only the year of birth in its bulk voter export, so day and month are not part of the public record [2].\n\nThe voter history file shows 4 elections voted in since 2022, most recently the 2026-03-03 primary election [3].\n\nThis summary draws only from the public North Carolina voter registration and history records.
