Huntersville, N.C. – North Carolina Representative Charles Jeter announced that he would be both resigning and withdrawing his name from the November General Election ballot.
“This has been one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make in my life”, Jeter stated. “I love serving the people of North Carolina and I know today’s announcement will be letting my Republican colleagues down in a very tough Election year fight. However, I simply cannot continue down a road that in the end forces me to make my wife and children anything less than the first priority in my life.”
Jeter continued by stating, “I plan to stay involved and help shape a better and brighter future for our state. I will continue to do so absent the title of Representative in order to gain more control over my life and to focus on my most pressing priority, my family. While life is full of many difficult challenges it is also short. The titles of husband and father are much greater and I must devote the time to my young family while I still have that opportunity.”
