Attorney General Jeff Jackson and the Department of Justice are charged with providing law enforcement, legal and consumer help across North Carolina.
His top issues are fighting crime, tackling the fentanyl epidemic, protecting North Carolinians from scams and fraud, ensuring that government services are used honestly, supporting law enforcement, protecting our air and water and defending the constitutional rights of North Carolinians.
Prevention, treatment and enforcement are all needed to tackle the fentanyl epidemic and Opioid Crisis.
The crime fight includes tough laws and better resources for law enforcement investigators, like more use of DNA evidence.
Protecting consumers means going after scam artists who trick people into bad deals like risky loans or telemarketing swindles.
Public protection also means taking care of the state’s most vulnerable residents, such as seniors in long-term care, children at school, and veterans.
