Expand all | Collapse all

I'm Jason Chambers, candidate for NC House of Representatives. I was born and raised in northern Durham County. My wife and I reside in Timberlake (southern Person County), so I have lived my entire life in what is House District 2. The district encompasses all of Person and the northern half of Durham County. I was encouraged to run for this position by numerous people and decided to run because the amazing people of this district deserve someone representing them who shares their values. I believe in hard work, personal responsibility and consider myself to be a common sense conservative. It would be an honor to be the representative for District 2 in the North Carolina House of Representatives in Raleigh.
  • I am just an average citizen who wants to represent the wonderful people who live in Person and northern Durham County. I grew up in a working class family in northern Durham and my parents taught me the value of hard work, the difference between right and wrong and to treat other people the way you would want to be treated. I will take those values with me to Raleigh.
  • I am a common sense conservative. I believe in limited government, low taxes, and adherence to the Constitution.
  • I will always do what I believe is right and what is in the best interests of my constituents. It is not about me, it is about being a voice for Person County and northern Durham County.
I am passionate about the role of government being as limited as possible, letting people keep more of their hard earned money and preserving our liberties. I am a strong defender of the 2nd Amendment and will always vote against any legislation that attempts to infringe upon law abiding citizens gun rights.
Honesty, integrity and a strong work ethic
I was fortunate to be raised by two wonderful parents. They taught me about the golden rule, treating others the way you want to be treated, about honesty, integrity, hard work and always doing the right thing, even when it is not always popular. Those are the qualities and values I will take with my to Raleigh as the representative for NC House District 2.
I worked at Harris Teeter for 3 years. I started my senior year in high school and worked there while attending college. I began bagging groceries, getting in shopping carts and cleaning the restrooms. Over the 3 years I was there I worked in several departments from Dairy/Frozen, to the Deli/Bakery and then for the last year I was there I worked in the Meat Department. Working at Harris Teeter taught me a lot of valuable lessons about showing up on time, working hard, dealing with the public, getting along with co-workers and learning new skills.
Hopefully we will have a Republican governor here in NC after the election in November as well as a Republican majority in the state House and Senate and we will be able to work together very effectively to improve the lives of the people of North Carolina.
Effectively managing the growth of our state without negatively impacting the quality of life for our current residents will be perhaps our biggest challenge in the next decade. We are the 3rd fastest growing state in the country in terms of population and while we are happy that North Carolina is such a desirable place to live and work, it certainly will not be without its challenges. There is no doubt that it will be something that I, along with my colleagues in Raleigh will have to address and manage in the best way possible over the course of the next decade.
Not necessarily. In many cases, that previous experience in government/politics is a negative. We definitely do not need more career politicians. Our founders intended our government to be made up of normal, everyday citizens. Those citizens were supposed to be true public servants who served for a brief period of time and then went back to whatever career they had prior to serving in office. I think our state and country would benefit from a lot more ordinary citizens serving instead of corrupt career politicians.
Yes. In order to be an effective legislator, you have to build positive, working relationships with your colleagues.
I do not necessarily have a particular legislator that I intend to model myself after, but there are a number of good members currently serving in the NC House (and Senate) who are there for the right reasons and doing a great job representing the people of their districts.
If elected, it will be such an honor to represent the fine people of NC House District 2. Doing the best possible job representing my constituents will be my focus.
What I'm hearing from the residents of the district is they are struggling with affording groceries, gas and providing for their families due to inflation caused by the out of control spending on the Biden administration.
The idea that Joe Biden is going to be able to serve another term as president is a joke for sure!
I believe this is an issue that needs to seriously be looked at because I do believe that Gov Cooper abused his power during the lockdowns with COVID.
Compromise is necessary at times and I will always strive to have the best possible relationship with my colleagues in the state legislature. Having said that, I also will never compromise my core principles and convictions.
I would introduce legislation that would enact term limits and have already signed a term limits pledge.
It is too early in the process for many endorsements yet but I will be pursuing a number of endorsements from various law enforcement and gun rights organizations. I also have the support of former District 2 Representative Larry Yarborough
I am open to serving on any number of committees that are available for me to serve on as a freshman legislator. However I can be the most effective member of the House of Representatives for my constituents.
