Jeff Jackson (politician)
Jeff Jackson is an attorney and a Democratic member of the North Carolina Senate.
A Chapel Hill native, Jackson holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in philosophy from Emory University and earned a law degree from the University of North Carolina School of Law. Jackson serves in the United States Army National Guard and saw active duty in Afghanistan. He later worked as a prosecutor in Gaston County, North Carolina.〔(Charlotte Observer )〕
When Sen. Dan Clodfelter resigned to become Mayor of Charlotte in 2014, Jackson was selected by local Democrats in the Mecklenburg County district to serve out the remainder of Clodfelter's term. They also chose him to replace Clodfelter as the Democratic nominee on the November 2014 general election ballot. Because no other person had filed to run against Clodfelter for the seat, Jackson would run unopposed for a full two-year term.〔(Charlotte Observer )〕
Jackson gained national attention when he was the only legislator to show up for work on a snow day in February, 2015. "On Twitter and Facebook, he embarked on a progressive dream agenda for the state of North Carolina. Of course, it was all in good fun, but his posts to social media also contributed to a clear enunciation of what North Carolina's real agenda" could look like 〔https://storify.com/lexalexander/home-alone-n-c-state-sen-jeff-jackson.〕 He passed Medicaid Expansion, banned puppy mills, established independent redistricting, invested in wind and solar, increased child care subsidies and gave Charlotte a new airport. It was widely termed the "Best Snow Day Ever".
