{"biography":"Wade J. Dahlberg Jr. is a Republican candidate for the Yancey County Board of Education in the 2026 general election held on November 3, 2026. The Yancey County Board of Education is a two\u2011seat governing body that oversees the public schools in Yancey County, North Carolina, and members are elected by county voters in partisan contests. Dahlberg previously sought one of these seats in the 2022 election cycle, appearing on the general\u2011election ballot on November 8, 2022 alongside Democratic candidates Ronnie\u202fRandolph and Jeanne\u202fTyner [1]. In that 2022 race, Dahlberg was listed as the Republican nominee for the Board of Education and was one of three candidates competing for the two available positions [1]. The Ballotpedia record notes that he did not complete the site\u2019s Candidate Connection survey, indicating that no additional self\u2011provided biographical or policy information was submitted to that platform [1]. The same source supplies a contact email for Dahlberg\u2014wade@winterstarfamilyfarm.com\u2014suggesting a point of communication for voters or interested parties [1]. No phone number, campaign website, or official portrait image is provided in the available source material; the page includes only generic placeholder graphics rather than a candidate photograph [1]. While the 2022 candidacy is documented, the current filing for the 2026 race is inferred from the election information supplied in the prompt, and no new public statements or campaign platforms have been recorded in the cited source. Consequently, the publicly available record on Dahlberg consists primarily of his party affiliation, prior ballot appearance, and a contact email address, with no further detail on his professional background, education, or specific policy positions.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Wade Dahlberg Jr. (Yancey County Board of Education, North Carolina, candidate 2022) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Wade_Dahlberg_Jr._(Yancey_County_Board_of_Education,_North_Carolina,_candidate_2022))","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board","county":"yancey","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Yancey County Board Of Education"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Wade","fullname":"Wade J Dahlberg JR","lastname":"Dahlberg","middlename":"J","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board","contest_title":"Yancey County Board Of Education","county":"yancey","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"yancey","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"yancey","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_school_board","contest_title":"Yancey County Board Of Education","county":"yancey","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"yancey","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"REP","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"suffix":"JR","summary":"Wade J.
