Rex Charles Cable JR
Office history
Rex Charles Cable Jr. is a Democratic candidate for the Cherokee County Board of Commissioners, District 1, in the November 3, 2026 election. The Board of Commissioners serves as the chief governing body for Cherokee County, North Carolina, responsible for setting county policy, adopting the annual budget, and overseeing the delivery of local services such as public safety, infrastructure, and economic development. Commissioners represent specific districts and must be residents of the county, meet age and citizenship requirements, and file financial disclosures as required by state law.
Cable was born in 1974 and resides in Andrews, North Carolina, where public records list his address as 304 Tatham St (and other nearby properties) and his phone number as (828) 321‑0709, with additional numbers (828) 321‑3295 and (828) 736‑6578 also associated with his name【11】. The same records note that he holds a graduate or professional degree, though the field of study is not specified.
Before seeking the county commission, Cable entered local politics by running for a seat on the Andrews Town Council in the 2025 general election. The Ballotpedia entry for that race lists him as a nonpartisan candidate on the ballot on November 4, 2025, though it does not provide further biographical details or election results【1】.
In the 2026 cycle, Cable is contesting District 1, which encompasses the town of Andrews and surrounding areas. The Cherokee Scout newspaper confirms his candidacy and notes that he will face former Cherokee County Schools superintendent Jeana Conley in the general election【10】. No campaign website or formal platform statements have been identified in the available sources, but his filing as a Democrat indicates alignment with the party’s local priorities.
Cable’s public record shows a long‑term residence in Cherokee County and prior engagement in municipal governance, suggesting familiarity with the issues facing the district. His campaign, as reported, is part of a broader slate of candidates seeking to reshape the county’s leadership after several incumbents were defeated in the same election cycle【10】.
