2026 North Carolina General Election

Steve Shook (R) wrote: “I am running for the Davidson County Board of Commissioners. I am a conservative Christian that believes that God should be first in our lives and that we are here to serve. I have watched our county leaders for several years, and I just don’t like the direction they are going, so rather than just complain about it, I have decided to be part of the solution. I want the Board to be more transparent and use common sense. I will be a good steward of the county’s resources. I will prioritize the needs of the county before looking at the wants. Wasteful spending needs to stop. I will push to preserve our farmland and limit the subdivision building that is changing our county’s landscape. In closing, with your support, I think that this can be accomplished.” The article was published February 13, 2026. A targeted September 2026 search found no newer contradictory policy statement.
