North Carolina General Assembly

[edit]

Yarborough served on the Person County Board of Commissioners from 2004 to 2008. In 2010, Yarborough announced he would challenge Winkie Wilkins for the district 55 seat in the NC House, though he later withdrew from the race. In 2014 he ran for the seat again (this time renumbered as the 2nd district) and defeated Democrat Ray Jeffers in the 2014 November general election.[2] Yarborough serves on eight North Carolina House Select Committees including Agriculture, Alcoholic Beverage Control, Appropriations, Agriculture and Natural and Economic Resources, Commerce and Job Development, Environment, Health, and Transportation. He is also a member of the Environmental Review Commission.[3]

In November 2015, Rep, Yarborough was appointed to serve on the Environmental Review Commission. He was also appointed to serve as an advisory member on the Joint Legislative Oversight Committee on General Government and Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee.[3]
