{"biography":"Susanne Duncan is the Democratic candidate for the Brunswick County Board of Education, District\u202f03, in the 2026 North Carolina midterm election. The Board of Education is listed among the county offices that appear on the ballot in North Carolina\u2019s 2026 elections, indicating its role as a local governing body for public schools in the county\u202f[5]. Duncan, a resident of Southport, filed her candidacy before the December\u202f19,\u202f2026 deadline, as recorded in the Brunswick County filing archive\u202f[3] and reported by the News\u2011Argus\u202f[12]. She will face Republican challenger Paige Morgan, also of Southport, in the general election scheduled for November\u202f3,\u202f2026\u202f[12]. The incumbent for District\u202f03, Robin\u202fMoffitt, a Republican from Oak Island, did not file for re\u2011election, leaving the seat open\u202f[12].\n\nThe primary for this race is set for March\u202f3,\u202f2026, with early voting beginning February\u202f12 and ending February\u202f28\u202f[12]. Voters affiliated with a political party may vote only in that party\u2019s primary, while unaffiliated voters may choose any party\u2019s ballot\u202f[12]. The Board of Education seat, like other county offices, will be decided by the voters of Brunswick County on the general election day\u202f[5].\n\nWhile specific details about Duncan\u2019s professional background, education, or prior public service are not provided in the available sources, her filing documents confirm her intent to serve on the board and her affiliation with the Democratic Party\u202f[3][12]. The election will determine who helps set policy, oversee budgeting, and guide the administration of public schools in Brunswick County for the next term.\n\n## Sources\n- [1] [North Carolina elections, 2026 - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_elections,_2026)\n- [3] [Brunswick County, NC - Archive Center](https://www.brunswickcountync.gov/Archive/52)\n- [4] [Candidate Lists | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/results-data/candidate-lists)\n- [5] [Upcoming Election | NCSBE](https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/upcoming-election)\n- [7] [Election Services | Buncombe County, NC](https://www.buncombenc.gov/199/Election-Services)\n- [8] [2026 Election United States House - North Carolina - District 06 - FEC.gov](https://www.fec.gov/data/elections/house/NC/06/2026/)\n- [9] [2026 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_North_Carolina)\n- [10] [Candidate Profiles \u2013 NC Voter Guide](https://ncvoterguide.org/profiles/)\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_school_board_district_03","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT","pgr":"general","state":"NC","title":"Brunswick County Board Of Education District 03"}],"cf_filings":[],"firstname":"Susanne","fullname":"Susanne Beery Duncan","lastname":"Duncan","middlename":"Beery","office_history":[{"campaigns":[{"contest":"county_school_board_district_03","contest_title":"Brunswick County Board Of Education District 03","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"brunswick","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"}],"county":"brunswick","cycles":[{"general":{"contest":"county_school_board_district_03","contest_title":"Brunswick County Board Of Education District 03","county":"brunswick","county_count":1,"electiondate":"2026-11-03","office_county":"brunswick","office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","party":"DEM","pgr":"general","state":"NC"},"party":"DEM","primary":null,"term":null,"year":2026}],"office_key":"county_school_board","office_title":"County School Board Member","state":"NC","terms":[]}],"summary":"Susanne Duncan is the Democratic candidate for Brunswick County Board of Education District\u202f03 in the 2026 election.","terms":[],"token":"8910549a3e768a72"}
