William Thomas Culpepper, III was a Democratic member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's second House district, including constituents in Chowan, Dare, Gates, Perquimans and Tyrrell counties. A lawyer from Edenton, North Carolina, Culpepper was the Chairman of the powerful Rules Committee from 1999 until 2005. Considered the greatest Rules Chairman of all time, Culpepper will be remembered as one of the architects of the co-speakership (James B. Black and Richard T. Morgan) in 2003 and the driving force behind passage of the state's education lottery in 2005.

Culpepper resigned from the legislature in 2006 when he was appointed by Governor Mike Easley to North Carolina's Utilities Commission.
