{"biography":"Carl J. Ollison is the incumbent Democratic commissioner for District\u202f04 (Township\u202f4) of the Pamlico County Board of Commissioners, seeking re\u2011election in the 2026 North Carolina general election. The Vote\u2011USA profile lists him as a currently elected member of the Pamlico County Board of Commissioners, and BallotReady confirms he holds the office through December\u202f31,\u202f2026 and was a candidate for the same seat in 2022\u202f[3][9].\n\nOllison\u2019s public records show a residence at 118 Pine Tree Lane, Bayboro, NC\u202f28515\u202f[5]. No education, professional, or prior political experience is recorded on Vote\u2011Smart, indicating that his public service record begins with his current county commission role\u202f[5].\n\nAs a county commissioner, Ollison participates in the governing body that sets policy, approves the county budget, and oversees local services for Pamlico County\u202f[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\u202f[3][9].\n\nIn March\u202f2026, Ollison was one of three commissioners who voted against a measure to make Pamlico County School Board elections partisan, a 4\u20113 vote that ultimately sent Senate Bill\u202f286 to the North Carolina Senate\u202f[11]. Following the vote, the local NAACP chapter met with Commissioner Ollison to discuss the issue, highlighting his opposition to the partisan shift\u202f[11]. This public stance reflects his involvement in county\u2011wide election policy debates.\n\nOllison\u2019s 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\u2019s official website or local news outlets covering board meetings.\n\n## Sources\n- [3] [Vote-USA | Carl Ollison | Currently Elected Pamlico County Board of Commissioners, Pamlico County, North Carolina](https://vote-usa.org/Intro.aspx?State=NC&Id=NCOllisonCarl)\n- [5] [Vote Smart | Facts For All](https://justfacts.votesmart.org/candidate/biography/93097/carl-ollison)\n- [8] [Carl Ollison Pamlico County - Commissioner - Incumbent - OpenCampaign Politician Profile - All politics is local!](https://www.opencampaign.com/politicians-in-united-states/50839/carl-ollison)\n- [9] [Carl Ollison | BallotReady](https://www.ballotready.org/people/carl-ollison)\n- [11] [NAACP Meets With Commissioner Ollison - Mar 21 | What's Happening - Events In Oriental, NC](https://towndock.net/happening/naacp-meets-with-commissioner-ollison-mar-21)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_04","county":"pamlico","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Pamlico County Board Of Commissioners District 04"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Carl","fullname":"Carl Jayson Ollison","lastname":"Ollison","middlename":"Jayson","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_04","contest_title":"Pamlico County Board Of Commissioners District 04","county":"pamlico","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"pamlico","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"pamlico","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_commission_district_04","contest_title":"Pamlico County Board Of Commissioners District 04","county":"pamlico","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"pamlico","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"DEM","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Carl J.
