Alamance Clerk Kristie Culler Announces Run for Full Term

Kristie M. Culler notified local officials and the public on November 30, 2025 that she will run for a full term as Alamance County clerk of superior court in 2026. Culler was appointed in December 2024 to serve the remainder of the previous clerk's term and has led the office in that capacity since her appointment.

Culler is a lifelong Alamance County resident and a graduate of Williams High School. She is about 52 years old and brings more than 30 years of experience working in the county courts system. Prior to her appointment as clerk, she served as second in command to the former clerk, giving her direct operational experience with records management, filings and the day to day administration of the clerk of superior court office.

The clerk of superior court carries responsibilities that affect many routine interactions between residents and the justice system. The office maintains court records, processes civil and criminal filings, oversees certain administrative duties related to jury and courtroom procedures, and manages fees and records that are public documents. Voters deciding who will lead the office should consider continuity, institutional knowledge and administrative capacity as part of their evaluation.

Culler announced her campaign as the statutory filing period for many partisan races opened at noon on Monday December 1, 2025 and will close at noon on Friday December 19, 2025. Local candidates seeking county or state offices must file within those state deadlines to appear on the 2026 ballot. The timing means potential challengers have a narrow window to register candidacies and begin qualifying paperwork.

The contest for clerk of superior court will focus on the administration of court services and the stewardship of public records that residents rely on for property, civil and criminal matters. Voter turnout in county races can hinge on broader election cycles and local engagement, making outreach and clear information about the office and its functions important for accountability. As the campaign develops in 2026, residents will have the opportunity to evaluate candidates on experience, management plans and commitments to transparency in court administration.
