Meet Jeff

Jeff’s career in public service began when he 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 22nd year of military service and drills monthly at an armory in Wake County.

When he returned home from Afghanistan, he went to law school with help from the G.I. bill. Jeff became a criminal prosecutor in Gaston County, where he worked with law enforcement to take violent criminals off the streets, handling first-degree murder and sex offense cases.

In the state legislature and in Congress, Jeff has built a reputation for being transparent, accessible, and bipartisan. Jeff currently scores in the top 5% for most bipartisan members of Congress. His opponent scores in the bottom 5%.

Jeff is running for Attorney General because the core purpose of the job is to be a shield for you and your family. That’s how Jeff has spent his life. He has dedicated himself to the security and wellbeing of others and believes the Attorney General must be a non-partisan, independent voice for the people of North Carolina.

Jeff is married to his wife, Marisa, and they have three children: Haden (16), Owen (9), and Avery (5). Jeff is a member of Myers Park Presbyterian Church.
