Cherie Killian Berry (Commissioner of Labor) was sworn in as North Carolina’s first female labor commissioner on Jan. 6, 2001, after serving eight years in the N.C. House of Representatives. Berry won re-election in 2004, 2008 and 2012. On Nov. 8, 2016, Cherie Berry won re-election to a fifth four-year term. Berry’s re-election sets a new record of being elected to five four-year terms as commissioner of labor. She is also the longest serving Republican on the Council of State. Commissioner Berry is a native of Catawba County and currently resides in Newton. She is the former business owner of LGM Ltd., a company that produces spark plug wires for the automotive industry. Employee safety is Commissioner Berry’s top priority. “I want to make North Carolina’s work climate as safe as possible,” Commissioner Berry said. “There is a world of potential for this agency and for businesses across North Carolina. I am proud of what we have accomplished and will continue to strive to improve.”
