James Alton Jones II
Office history
Current office and 2026 campaign
James Alton Jones II, of Harrells, was sworn into the Sampson County Schools Board of Education in late June 2026 and began his official duties on July 1, 2026, alongside newly elected members Michael Elmore and Krystin Moore McPhail 2.
Sampson Independent's March 3, 2026 primary-night election coverage described Jones among the non-advancing candidates in this multi-seat race, naming only Elmore and McPhail as newcomer winners alongside incumbent Daryll Warren 3. The outlet's later, first-hand report of the June swearing-in — with direct quotes from each new member — identifies Jones as one of three newly elected board members seated that day 2. The two reports conflict on this point; the swearing-in account is the more direct evidence of the actual outcome.
Career
Jones has worked for many years as a school resource officer 2.
