Jeff Jackson: North Carolina's 2022 Senate Demcoratic primary is heating up
North Carolina state Sen. Jeff Jackson announced his 2022 bid for Senate on Tuesday, setting up a divisive Democratic primary for the open seat that will be pivotal to the party's future control of the Senate.
Jackson launched his "100-county campaign" in a video with his wife Marisa and his young sons, who are seen packing their bags in preparation for the months-long contest.
He talked about a "North Carolina agenda" that addresses the pandemic, the unemployed, the opioid crisis, a lack of rural broadband and housing, health care and criminal justice racial disparities. Jackson also nodded to the state's 2020 election, in which Cal Cunningham, a former state senator and military veteran, lost his race against Republican Sen. Thom Tillis by less than two points after his sex scandal.
"We cannot go through another election like the one we just had," Marisa said.
