REMINDER: Jamie Ager’s Democrat Party is Responsible for Iryna’s Death

August 22, 2026

One year ago today, 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska was brutally stabbed to death on a Charlotte light-rail train by a repeat offender who should never have been on the streets.

Make no mistake: Jamie Ager’s Democrat Party is directly responsible for this. Their dangerous, soft-on-crime policies have made communities across North Carolina less safe.

To make matters worse, when Republicans like Jennifer Balkcom took action to prevent something like this from happening again by passing Iryna’s law, Ager’s brother voted against it. Twice.

“The soft-on-crime policies pushed by do-nothing Jamie Ager’s Democrat Party have been an absolute disaster for North Carolina. This November, voters will hold Ager accountable for standing side-by-side with radical soft-on-crime politicians and elect Jennifer Balkcom.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
