Summary
Four Wake County school board seats are up for grabs this November, with only two incumbents—Tyler Swanson and Christina Gordon—seeking reelection, while two others, Cheryl Caulfield and Chris Heagarty, are stepping aside. With a competitive field of eleven candidates across four districts, Republicans may seize ground in a board currently tilted 7-2 Democratic. District One sees three contenders for Caulfield’s seat; District Two is unopposed for Gordon; District Seven features a three-way race; and District Nine pits Swanson against Brian Olson. Early endorsements hint at shifting political winds, and voters will also decide on federal, state races, and a major school construction bond—all while shaping the future of education for thousands of students.
