NC-14: Jeff Jackson (D)

Campaign Website

Jeff Jackson became the second-youngest senator in the state Senate in 2014. He was new to political office, but not new to public service, having enlisted after the attacks of September 11th, trained at Ft. Bragg, and served in Afghanistan. He continues to serve today as a Major in the Army National Guard. He is currently in his 19th year of military service.

He attended law school at UNC-Chapel Hill with help from the G.I. bill, before serving as the assistant district attorney in Gaston County. In Gaston County, he tried more than one hundred cases.

He has dedicated much of his time in the General Assembly to reforming the criminal justice system, including working to close the consent loophole, decrease unnecessary charges and arrests, and improve our expungement laws. He has also made statewide and national news for his commitment to ending gerrymandering, repealing HB2, and standing up for honesty and decency on both sides of the aisle .

He is married to Marisa and they have three children: Haden (13), Owen (6), and Avery (3).
