Democratic Rep. Jeff Jackson says being North Carolina's Attorney General would be a dream job.

"This would fill any sense of ambition that I have, because it is probably the best job in public service," Jackson said, appearing on WCNC's Flashpoint.

Current Attorney General Josh Stein is running to be Governor. And Jackson, a former prosecutor, was essentially drawn out of his current U.S. House district by North Carolina's new congressional maps.

Earlier this fall, the Charlotte democrat announced a run for Attorney General.
