“Jackson declined to say whether he ultimately wants to become governor or hopes to pursue higher elected office.”

Charlotte, NC – Ladder-climbing TikTok influencer Jeff Jackson (he/him) has been running for statewide office for nearly a decade:
- In 2016, he said he was “seriously considering” a run for U.S. Senate.
- In 2018 there was no election for U.S. Senate, otherwise Jackson (he/him) surely would’ve thrust himself into the spotlight.
- In 2020, Jackson (he/him) tried to run for U.S. Senate again before failing out.
- In 2022, Jackson (he/him) tried to run for U.S. Senate yet again, before failing out yet again.
- After his failed 2022 U.S. Senate gambit, Jackson (he/him) switched to a run for U.S. House.
Now that it’s 2024 and there’s again no U.S. Senate election, ladder-climber Jeff Jackson (he/him) is running for attorney general – and he won’t even deny he has his eyes on the next prize.
A journalist reported last week that “Jackson declined to say whether he ultimately wants to become governor or hopes to pursue higher elected office.”
Why does Jeff Jackson’s (he/him) ambition matter? Because for years, Democrat attorneys general have decided which states laws to uphold and which to ignore based on what’s best for their future run for governor.
Here are just three examples:
- Roy Cooper and Josh Stein sabotaged the defense of North Carolina’s voter ID law before the U.S. Supreme Court;
- Josh Stein refuses to defend the state’s law preventing felons from voting;
- In 2020, Josh Stein “settled” a lawsuit brought by his political allies in the Democratic Party, and the settlement changed the state’s voting laws after ballots had already been cast.
Congressman Dan Bishop said, “For a long time, ladder-climbing Democrats have used the attorney general as a stepping-stone to governor. The result has been selective enforcement of the state’s laws depending on the attorney general’s political calculations. Unlike my ladder-climbing opponent, I commit to not seeking higher office.”
