{"biography":"Sara Michelle Singer is the Democratic candidate for the Brunswick County Board of Commissioners, District\u202f02, in the 2026 North Carolina midterm election. If elected, she would serve on the five\u2011member board that governs Brunswick County, overseeing the county budget, land\u2011use 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\u2019s 200,000 residents.\n\nSinger is a resident of Supply, North Carolina, and filed her candidacy as the Democratic nominee for District\u202f02, challenging the Republican primary winner in the November\u202f3,\u202f2026 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.\n\nPublicly available sources do not detail Singer\u2019s education or prior professional experience. However, local Democratic organizers have highlighted her as a candidate who will \u201cadvocate for the changes we need\u201d in Brunswick County, emphasizing local autonomy, responsible development, and environmental stewardship in response to state\u2011level restrictions on land\u2011use 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].\n\nWhile specific policy proposals have not been published in the cited sources, Singer\u2019s campaign aligns with broader Democratic priorities in the region, including restoring local control over zoning, opposing state\u2011mandated 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\u2011making and environmental health over the \u201cMAGA\u2011majority\u201d agenda described by local activists [9].\n\n## Sources\n- [4] [2026 Election United States House - North Carolina - District 06 - FEC.gov](https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/house/NC/06/2026/)\n- [5] [Upcoming Election | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/upcoming-election)\n- [6] [Candidate Lists | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/results-data/candidate-lists)\n- [9] [Brunswickdem](https://www.brunswickdem.org/post/in-our-opinion-it-s-not-our-fault-call-the-state)\n- [10] [Primary Election 2026: Brunswick County commissioner candidate questionnaires | WHQR](https://www.whqr.org/local/2026-02-04/primary-election-2026-brunswick-county-commissioner-candidate-questionnaires)\n- [11] [A look at who filed in the 2026 tri-county elections | Port City Daily](https://portcitydaily.com/local-news/2025/12/19/look-at-who-filed-in-2026-elections/)\n- [12] [Candidate fields set for 2026 elections | News | newsargus.com](https://www.newsargus.com/brunswick_beacon/news/candidate-fields-set-for-2026-elections/article_1318a28e-67c2-5e6a-9dfe-662731debc6d.html)","campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_02","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Brunswick County Board Of Commissioners District 02"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Sara","fullname":"Sara Michelle Singer","lastname":"Singer","middlename":"Michelle","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_commission_district_02","contest_title":"Brunswick County Board Of Commissioners District 02","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"brunswick","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"brunswick","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_commission_district_02","contest_title":"Brunswick County Board Of Commissioners District 02","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"brunswick","office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"DEM","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_commission","office_title":"County Commissioner","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Sara Singer is the Democratic candidate for Brunswick County Commissioner District\u202f02, running to protect local autonomy and the environment.","terms":[],"token":"883580e5f266653c"}
