After September 11th, I enlisted and served in Afghanistan. I came home and went to law school at UNC Chapel Hill on the G.I. Bill, then I became an assistant district attorney in Gaston County. As a prosecutor, I saw how the failure to invest in public education, mental health, and addiction treatment was leading to a lot of criminal behavior. As a state senator and a congressman, I worked on those issues - and I stood up for voters when I thought our state legislature was undermining their rights. My entire life has been about standing up for people who need it, and that’s who I’d be as Attorney General. " </span></p> </span></div> </div> <hr class="hr-long" /> <p><img src="https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/7/77/Key-msg-icon.png" class="cc-bubble" /> </p> <p class="cc-key-messages"> Key Messages </p> <p class="cc-message-container"> <i>To read this candidate's full survey responses, <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Jeff_Jackson#Campaign_themes">click here</a></i>. </p> <hr class="cc-hr-short" /> <div class="cc-message-container"> <p> The core job of the Attorney General is to stand up for the people. You do that by going after the people who are trying to cause harm - whether that’s a company that’s polluting the water, scammers who are targeting seniors, predatory lenders stealing from students or veterans, organized crime pushing fentanyl into our communities, or politicians trying to undermine people’s rights. </p> </div> <hr class="cc-hr-short" /> <div class="cc-message-container"> <p>The fentanyl epidemic is killing people in our state each day. As Attorney General, I would lead a response that addressed both the supply of fentanyl by cracking down on the distribution cells run by organized crime within our state, and the demand for fentanyl by supporting the most effective forms of addiction treatment and working with our state legislature to fund that treatment in a serious way. I would also support the passage of an anti-money laundering law, which would significantly aid in tackling fentanyl as well as human trafficking. </p> </div> <hr class="cc-hr-short" /> <div class="cc-message-container"> <p>I served in the state legislature for four terms. I was able to get things done by finding reasonable legislative partners and spending months hashing out compromises that let us build a coalition. It was painstaking work, but that’s the only way to have a bill become a law. As Attorney General, I would look for opportunities to be a serious legislative partner on matters of criminal justice, mental health, addiction treatment, and - critically - early childhood education, which is essential to give all of our kids a decent shot at fulfilling their potential. </p> </div> <p><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Jeff_Jackson#Campaign_themes"><img src="https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/9/9d/Cc-more-icon.png" class="cc-logo" /></a> </p> <div class="cc-footnotes"> </div> <div class="cc-footnotes"> <p> <span>This information was current as of the candidate's run for Attorney General of North Carolina in 2024.</span> </p> </div> </div></div><div class="cc-container"> <div class="cc-header cc-republican"> <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Dan_Bishop">Dan Bishop</a></div> <div class="cc-bottom"> <div class="cand-info-container"> <div class="img-container"> <p><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/250/450/Dan-Bishop.PNG" alt="Image of Dan Bishop" onerror="imgError(this);" class="img-responsive cc-profile-img" /> </p> <div class="cc_social_row"> <a href="https://votedanbishop.com/" title="Campaign website" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener"><img alt="Website" src="https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/a/a9/Global.png" width="25" height="25" /></a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/danbishopnc/" title="Facebook" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener"><img alt="Facebook" src="https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/7/7f/Bajaber_facebook.png" width="25" height="25" /></a><a href="https://twitter.com/danbishopnc" title="Twitter" target="_blank" rel=" noreferrer noopener"><img alt="Twitter" src="https://cdn.ballotpedia.org/images/f/fb/Bajaber_Twitter.png" width="25" height="25" /></a></div> </div> <div class="bio-container"> <p> <span><b>Party:</b></span> <span> <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Republican_Party">Republican Party</a> </span> </p> <p><b>Incumbent:</b> No</p> <p class="cc_row cc_office"><span class="cc_key" style="display: inline;"><b>Political Office:</b> </span><span class="cc_val" style="display: inline;"></span></p><ul><li><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina%27s_8th_Congressional_District" target="_self">U.S. House of Representatives, North Carolina District 8</a> (Assumed office 2023)</li><li><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina's_9th_Congressional_District" target="_self">U.S. House of Representatives, North Carolina District 9</a> (2019-2023)</li><li><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_State_Senate_District_39" target="_self" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">North Carolina State Senate District 39</a> (2017-2019)</li><li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/North_Carolina_House_of_Representatives_District_104" target="_self">North Carolina House of Representatives District 104</a> (2015-2016)<br /></li></ul><span class="cc_val" style="display: inline;"><p class="mw-empty-elt"></p> <p class="cc_row cc_bio" style="display: inline;"><span class="cc_key" style="display: inline;"><b>Biography:</b> </span><span class="cc_val" style="display: inline;"> Bishop received a bachelor's degree and a law degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Without adhering to the basic principles of honesty and decency, there can be no political debate – and no political progress. As a Soldier, a former prosecutor, a husband, and a father, commitment to those principles has been non-negotiable in my life. <p>We may disagree on certain policies, but my primary mission is to represent the people of North Carolina with honesty and decency – and, hopefully, we can all agree on that. </p> </span> <i class="fa fa-quote-right quote-icons" aria-hidden="true"></i></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading9-206644-99403" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse9-206644-99403"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse9-206644-99403" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse9-206644-99403"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse9-206644-99403" class="panel-collapse collapse " role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading9-206644-99403"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answer-photo-container"> <img class="image-candidate-thumbnail" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/JeffJackson.jpg" alt="Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/JeffJackson.jpg" data-file-width="199" data-file-height="199" /> <p> <span style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 20px;"><a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Jeff_Jackson#Campaign_themes">Jeff Jackson</a> <span style="font-weight: 300; color: #888"> (D) </span> </span> </p> </div> <div class="answers-container"><i class="fa fa-quote-left quote-icons" aria-hidden="true"></i> <span style="font-size: 14px;">Honesty and decency should be the non-negotiable principles for anyone seeking to represent others. <p>Beyond that, I value competence and energy. </p><p>My basic critique of politics these days is that lots of people are treating honesty and decency as optional - and, in some cases, a liability. </p><p>That means that insisting on those two principles means that we're willing to accept even less competence and energy, simply because we're in a moment where we have to fight for honesty and decency. </p> Ideally, we can get to a place where honesty and decency are considered prerequisites and we can battle over which candidates have the most competency and energy.
