{"biography":"## Current office and 2026 campaign\nLinda Robinson is the Republican candidate for an at-large seat on the Union County Public Schools (UCPS) Board of Education, on the ballot in the November 3, 2026 general election opposite Democratic nominee Alexis Stadler [1][2].\n\n## Career\nRobinson's public record centers on her school-board candidacies. In the March 5, 2024 Republican primary for two open at-large seats, she placed third with 7,673 votes (18%), behind winners and incumbents Todd F. Price (14,847 votes, 34%) and Sarah May (14,822 votes, 34%); Travis Cook placed fourth [3]. She ran again in the March 3, 2026 Republican primary for the at-large seat, winning with 56.5% of the vote (8,436 votes) [1]. Also in that primary was Sandra Greene, the sitting District 4 board member (first elected to that seat in 2022 with 70.12% of the vote [4]), who ran for the at-large seat rather than seeking reelection to her own district and placed last among the field with 15.0% [1].\n\n## Office history\nThe UCPS board has nine members serving four-year terms, responsible for setting district policy, approving the budget, and overseeing the superintendent and school operations; at-large members represent the entire county rather than a single district [2].\n\nNo publicly available sources document Robinson's education, professional background, or prior public-service roles; her Ballotpedia candidate page does not list a campaign platform, policy priorities, or endorsements for the 2026 race [1].\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [Linda Robinson (North Carolina) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Linda_Robinson_(North_Carolina))\n- [2] [Union County Public Schools, North Carolina, elections (2026) - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Union_County_Public_Schools,_North_Carolina,_elections_(2026))\n- [3] [Union County primary election results - Enquirer Journal](https://enquirerjournal.com/enquirer_journal/union-county-primary-election-results/article_69fc1d45-e5f2-57b7-a7e0-808569fe6faf.html)\n- [4] [Sandra Greene joins four incumbents in Union County school board victories - WFAE](https://www.wfae.org/politics/2022-11-08/sandra-greene-joins-four-incumbents-in-union-county-school-board-victories)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","county":"union","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Union County Board Of Education At-Large"},{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","county":"union","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Union County Board Of Education At-Large"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Linda","fullname":"Linda Ozmore Robinson","lastname":"Robinson","middlename":"Ozmore","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Union County Board Of Education At-Large","county":"union","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"union","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Union County Board Of Education At-Large","county":"union","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"union","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"union","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_school_board_at_large","contest_title":"Union County Board Of Education At-Large","county":"union","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-03-03","office_county":"union","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"REP","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"REP","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Linda Robinson is the Republican candidate for an at\u2011large Union County school\u2011board seat in the 2026 election.","terms":[],"token":"6eb421684d2eb41b"}
