About this race

No Republican qualified for Post 2, so the seat was decided in the Democratic primary. Incumbent Janie Jones finished ahead of challenger Stephanie Holloman-Curtis in the May 19, 2026 primary; exact vote totals were not found in the sources available to this agent, but rockdalecitizen.com reported that Rockdale voters "decisively re-elected" both Board of Education incumbents (Jackson-Lett and Jones) that night, and Post 2 was not among the races that went to the June 16 runoff. Jones is unopposed on the November 3 ballot.
