Office history

2026
general

James Lee Mixson III is the Republican candidate for Iredell County Clerk of Superior Court in the 2026 North Carolina general election. The Clerk of Superior Court is a county‑wide elected official who maintains the official records of the Superior Court, processes civil and criminal filings, issues marriage licenses, and serves as the ex‑officio judge of probate for the county[9]. Mixson lists his current occupation as "clerk of superior court/ex‑officio judge of probate," indicating prior experience in the very office he seeks to hold[10].

Mixson appears to be in his mid‑fifties; a public records search suggests he was born in June 1971 and is possibly 54 years old[10]. The same source places him in Statesville, North Carolina, the county seat of Iredell County, and associates him with the name James Lee Mixson[10]. No formal education details are provided in the available sources.

Professionally, Mixson’s record shows a history of public‑service roles tied to court administration. The job title listed on the people‑search site identifies him as a clerk of superior court and ex‑officio judge of probate, positions that involve overseeing court dockets, managing probate matters, and ensuring the integrity of public records[10]. While the source does not enumerate specific achievements, the title itself implies familiarity with the administrative and legal responsibilities of the clerk’s office.

In this race, Mixson is running as a Republican. The NC Voter Guide lists candidates for the 2026 ballot and confirms his candidacy for the Iredell County Clerk of Superior Court position[9]. No campaign website or official email address is provided in the sources consulted. The same public‑records source supplies two telephone numbers that have been linked to a James Lee Mixson residing in Statesville, NC: (704) 873‑7763 and (704) 876‑3852[10].

Because the available information is limited to public‑records listings and a generic voter‑guide page, Mixson’s policy positions, detailed career milestones, and campaign platform are not documented in the sources reviewed. Voters seeking more comprehensive information should consult the official Iredell County Board of Elections or the candidate’s future campaign communications.
