Brian K. Lewis

Wake County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor · Wake County, North Carolina · November 3, 2026

Also on the ballot: Beth Pugh Farrell, Jim White, Terence Thomas, Samantha Krop, Cece Grant

Brian K. Lewis is a repeat Libertarian-aligned candidate for Wake Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor, having run in 2022 (a record vote total for a Libertarian in Wake County) and registered again in 2024; this research could not independently confirm a 2026 filing beyond the assignment list. He is a Navy veteran and telecommunications worker who previously served on a Florida soil and water board.

What this office decides

Wake Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors sit on a five-member board, three elected and two appointed, that promotes conservation on farms and developed land: erosion and stormwater control, water quality, and farmland and open-space protection. The district works mainly through voluntary cost-share programs, technical help, and education rather than regulation or taxes. The seats are nonpartisan.

Who they are

Brian K. Lewis has run for this exact seat in at least two prior cycles: he polled 52,322 votes as the Libertarian-aligned candidate in November 2022 (a loss, but "an all-time record for the most votes ever for a Libertarian candidate in Wake County"), and registered again in July 2024, when he was added to the "2024 LPNC Candidates Lineup" (Libertarian Party of Wake County; X/Brian K. Lewis). He is not among the district's current elected or appointed supervisors, so he is not the incumbent (Wake County Government). He lives on a small farm in unincorporated Wake County, is a US Navy veteran, has worked 22 years in telecommunications, and previously served as a Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor in Broward County, Florida (AssemblyNC Voter Guide via Branch.vote). Every independent source found describes this same person and seat across 2022 and 2024; none dated to 2026 was found — see "What we couldn't find."

Positions

Energy & environment: Says conservation work should help "both farmers and homeowners adopt cost savings and yield improvement techniques," framing it as a duty to "protect all our downstream neighbors" (Branch.vote/AssemblyNC).
