North Carolina’s 11th District
Building a future families can afford.
Jennifer Balkcom believes working families deserve the opportunity to own a home and keep more of what they earn. With nearly two decades in lending, including years at local credit unions across western North Carolina, she understands how much affordable housing and trusted local financial institutions matter to a family’s future.
Where she learned
From behind the counter.
Before she ran for anything, Jennifer Balkcom worked at two local credit unions serving families and businesses in western North Carolina. She saw what a community institution can do for working families.
What she stands for
Expanding opportunity for working families
Jennifer believes hard work should open the door to homeownership, financial security, and a stronger future. She stands with the community institutions that help families make those goals possible.
Strong local credit unions
She supports local credit unions that provide responsible financial services and reinvest in the communities they serve.
Keep more of what you earn
Jennifer supports eliminating North Carolina state income tax on tips, overtime pay, and bonuses so working families can keep more of the money they earn.
Expanding credit union access
She helped make it easier to serve small towns.
Jennifer helped modernize North Carolina’s credit union charter laws so more families and small businesses in rural and underserved communities can access affordable, responsible financial services close to home.
Before
Small towns were left out.
State law limited who was allowed to join a credit union, leaving rural and underserved communities with fewer local options.
What Jennifer did
She helped change the law.
As a state representative, she used her experience to help modernize the rules governing who credit unions can serve in North Carolina.
Now
More access, closer to home.
More families and small businesses can get responsible financial services in the communities where they live and work.
Backed by credit unions.
Jennifer Balkcom supports local credit unions and is strongly backed by America’s Credit Unions and Carolinas Credit Union League.
