Shannon Dawn Whitaker
Office history
Shannon Dawn Whitaker -- who files and appears on the ballot as "Shannon Craven Whitaker" -- is a candidate for the Randolph County Schools Board of Education in Randolph County, North Carolina, on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot. The race is nonpartisan; six candidates filed for three at-large seats carrying four-year terms, and Whitaker filed her candidacy on December 3, 2025, giving a Franklinville, NC address 1. (An earlier version of this bio misidentified the contest as the separate Asheboro City Schools Board of Education and described her as a Republican candidate; neither is supported by the official candidate filing, which lists no party for this nonpartisan race 1.)
