Carl Jayson Ollison

Carl J. Ollison is the incumbent Democratic commissioner for District 04 (Township 4) of the Pamlico County Board of Commissioners, seeking re‑election in the 2026 North Carolina general election. The Vote‑USA profile lists him as a currently elected member of the Pamlico County Board of Commissioners, and BallotReady confirms he holds the office through December 31, 2026 and was a candidate for the same seat in 2022 [3][9].

Ollison’s public records show a residence at 118 Pine Tree Lane, Bayboro, NC 28515 [5]. No education, professional, or prior political experience is recorded on Vote‑Smart, indicating that his public service record begins with his current county commission role [5].

As a county commissioner, Ollison participates in the governing body that sets policy, approves the county budget, and oversees local services for Pamlico County [3][9]. He is identified as a member of the North Carolina Democratic Party and represents the fourth township, a district that includes the town of Bayboro and surrounding rural areas [3][9].

In March 2026, Ollison was one of three commissioners who voted against a measure to make Pamlico County School Board elections partisan, a 4‑3 vote that ultimately sent Senate Bill 286 to the North Carolina Senate [11]. Following the vote, the local NAACP chapter met with Commissioner Ollison to discuss the issue, highlighting his opposition to the partisan shift [11]. This public stance reflects his involvement in county‑wide election policy debates.

Ollison’s campaign materials and issue positions are not detailed on the listed sources, and no email or phone contact information is publicly provided. Voters can learn more about his record through the county’s official website or local news outlets covering board meetings.
