Charles Earl Hickman III

Charles Earl Hickman III is the Republican candidate for the Beaufort County Board of Education, District 2, in the 2026 North Carolina elections. He appears on the March 3, 2026 Republican primary ballot for the seat that governs the county’s public schools, which are responsible for setting policy, approving budgets, and overseeing curriculum for the district’s K‑12 system[2].

Hickman previously sought the same position in the 2022 election cycle, appearing on the November 8, 2022 general‑election ballot opposite Democratic candidate E.C. Peed[1]. No official biographical details, such as education or professional background, are provided on his Ballotpedia pages for either election cycle[1][2].

Beyond his candidacies, public records do not list any elected offices held by Hickman, nor do they document specific policy initiatives or community projects he has led. The only additional public mention is an endorsement‑style article on the Eastern NC Now website, which praises his competence as a school‑board member but does not supply verifiable facts about his experience or qualifications[11].

Hickman’s campaign outreach includes a contact email listed on the 2026 Ballotpedia page for respondents to the Candidate Connection survey: CHARLESHICKMAN2023@OUTLOOK.COM[2]. No phone number or dedicated campaign website is cited in the available sources.
