CYRIL JEFFERSON — U.S. HOUSE DISTRICT 6
Proven Public Servant, High Point Mayor & Higher Education Leader
CYRIL JEFFERSON FIGHTS FOR:
Healthcare that won’t make you go broke
🔗 Hear Cyril: For Forsyth podcast
Getting sick should not make you go broke. Cyril backs Medicare for all who want it, so families get a real choice and can keep coverage through work or the VA if they like it. He knows what Medicaid, SNAP, and WIC mean to a family, because his own family relied on them.
Lower costs and more homes
🔗 Cyril’s plan: cyrilforcongress.com
You can’t live the American dream without a place to live. As mayor of a growing city, Cyril has made housing a priority, because when homes run short, prices go up for everyone. In Congress, he’ll work to build more homes and bring federal dollars back to North Carolina for roads, rail, and broadband, without raising taxes.
Banning stock trading by officials in office
🔗 Cyril’s pledge: Take BAC Congress reforms
Republicans and Democrats alike have lost trust in government. Cyril wants to ban stock trading by members of Congress while they serve, so every vote is about the people and not someone’s investments. He joined Take BAC Congress, which also pushes for term limits and an ethics code for the Supreme Court.
Meet Cyril Jefferson
Cyril Jefferson grew up in Forsyth County. His family moved to Kernersville when he was three, and he went to Bolton Elementary and Wiley Middle School in Winston-Salem. His stepdad’s work as a furniture upholsterer brought the family to High Point, where Cyril has lived for the past 20 years.
Before public office, Cyril taught music and led a high school band. He served on the High Point City Council, and in 2023 he became the youngest mayor in the city’s history. He also works as Industry Practice Director for Higher Education at Stratagon. In 2024, High Point was named an All-America City, one of ten in the nation, for its work on hunger and small business support.
Cyril and his wife are raising two young sons.

He has taken no money from corporate PACs, AIPAC, or crypto executives.
