District 59 Representative

Party: Democratic

Overview: Incumbent Maggie Jeffus beat Republican challenger Theresa Yon. She has strong priorities in education, having gained the endorsement of both Guilford County Association of Educators and NC Association of Educators. Jeffus also believes that anti-discrimination laws should include sexual orientation.

On the record: “I want everything that we can get for the schools and for the classes and for the children. (My opponent) does not understand how the budget is done. And we do need to give them flexibility … That’s one of the things we do — we give a great deal of flexibility to (local education agencies), and each LEA is different.” (From Yes! Weekly)
