John Derak Robinson

John Derak Robinson is the incumbent Clerk of Superior Court for Yancey County, North Carolina, and is running as the Republican candidate for the same office in the 2026 general election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The Clerk of Superior Court is an elected position that oversees the administration of the county’s superior court records and related services. Robinson’s official county profile lists him as the Clerk of Superior Courts and provides his office phone number, 828‑678‑5700, confirming his current role in county government [12].

Robinson’s prior electoral history is documented on Ballotpedia. In 2022 he entered the Republican primary for Yancey County Clerk of Superior Court, competing against Marie Anglin, and won the nomination to face Democrat Johnny Riddle in the November 8, 2022 general election [1]. The same source notes that he was listed on the ballot as the Republican candidate for that race. No further details about his education or earlier career are provided in the available public sources.

The Ballotpedia entry also supplies a contact email, jdrobinson714@gmail.com, indicating a channel for constituents and media to reach the candidate [1]. Beyond the 2022 campaign, the county directory does not list a personal website or campaign‑specific page, and no policy statements or platform points are included in the sources consulted. Consequently, while Robinson’s incumbency and recent candidacy are well documented, specific information about his background, education, and policy positions remains limited in the public record.
