Current office and 2026 campaign

Edward Goodwin Rankin Jr., known publicly as Mick Rankin, is the Republican candidate for Wilson County Board of Commissioners, District 4, in the 2026 general election 12. District 4 encompasses the communities of Saratoga, Stantonsburg, and Black Creek 1. He filed after concluding that incumbent commissioner Roger Lucas would not seek reelection: “I had discussion with the current commissioner (Roger Lucas) and I feel pretty confident that he’s decided not to run, and so I thought I would go ahead and fill that void,” Rankin said. “We definitely need a good voice for the folks of that district. I live in the district, so I feel like I can do a good job for them” 1.
