Lee County commissioners appoint Eric Davidson to District 4 seat
Summary
At the July 20 meeting the Lee County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution appointing Eric Davidson to fill the District 4 vacancy and administered his oath of office. The appointment followed a Republican executive committee recommendation and a statutory vacancy process (General Statute 153A27.1).
At its July 20 meeting, the Lee County Board of Commissioners voted to appoint Eric Davidson to the District 4 seat, filling a vacancy created when Ms. Gorbeck resigned after the July 13, 2026 meeting. The Chair introduced a resolution to appoint Mr. Davidson, which the board approved after the motion was called.
Eric Davidson then stated his name and recited the oath of office, saying, "I do solemnly swear that I will support and maintain the constitution and laws of The United States and the constitution and laws of North Carolina... and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of my office as a member of the Lee County Board of Commissioners to the best of my abilities, skill, and judgment." Staff had told the board that the Republican executive committee recommended Mr. Davidson on July 16 and that the appointment followed the statutory process set out in General Statute 153A27.1.
The appointment was presented as a resolution included in the meeting packet; the transcript records members responding "aye" when the Chair called for the vote. The board then administered the oath and proceeded to adjourn. The transcript does not provide a named vote tally or identify a formal mover and seconder for the appointment motion.
