Amy Leann Pierce
Office history
Current office and 2026 campaign
Amy Leann Pierce, who goes by LeAnn Pierce, is the Chair of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and is seeking re-election as a Republican in the November 3, 2026 general election 1. Because only as many Republicans (Pierce and Richard Collier) filed as there were open seats, no Republican primary was held and both advanced directly to the general election 1. They face Democratic nominees Rob Zapple, a three-term incumbent first elected in 2014, and LeShonda Wallace, who placed first and second respectively in a four-way Democratic primary held March 3, 2026 12.
Background
According to the North Carolina voter file, Pierce is a registered Republican in New Hanover County, registered since 1996 (30 years) 3. The voter file lists her year of birth as 1968; North Carolina's bulk voter export publishes only birth year, not a full date 3. Her voting history shows participation in 16 elections since 2016, most recently the March 3, 2026 primary 4.
