Sara Michelle Singer

Sara Michelle Singer is the Democratic candidate for the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners, District 02, in the 2026 North Carolina midterm election. If elected, she would serve on the five‑member board that governs Brunswick County, overseeing the county budget, land‑use planning, public safety, and local services such as roads, parks, and health programs. Commissioners also set policy on development, environmental protection, and economic growth for the county’s 200,000 residents.

Singer is a resident of Supply, North Carolina, and filed her candidacy as the Democratic nominee for District 02, challenging the Republican primary winner in the November 3, 2026 general election [12]. The district covers coastal communities west of Holden Beach and inland areas south of Bolivia and west of Boiling Spring Lakes, encompassing both shoreline and rural neighborhoods.

Publicly available sources do not detail Singer’s education or prior professional experience. However, local Democratic organizers have highlighted her as a candidate who will “advocate for the changes we need” in Brunswick County, emphasizing local autonomy, responsible development, and environmental stewardship in response to state‑level restrictions on land‑use and wetlands protection [9]. In a candidate questionnaire initiative coordinated by WHQR and regional media, Singer was listed alongside other district candidates, confirming her participation in the primary process and her platform focus on preserving community character and protecting natural resources [10].

While specific policy proposals have not been published in the cited sources, Singer’s campaign aligns with broader Democratic priorities in the region, including restoring local control over zoning, opposing state‑mandated density requirements, and supporting measures to safeguard wetlands and curb unchecked development. Her candidacy reflects the effort by Brunswick Democrats to offer voters a choice that prioritizes local decision‑making and environmental health over the “MAGA‑majority” agenda described by local activists [9].
