RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Democratic North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein has announced he will be running for governor.
In an announcement video, Stein said he is running to fight for a North Carolina “rooted in our shared values of freedom, justice and opportunity for everyone.”
According to his campaign, Stein has raised more than $5 million since the beginning of the campaign cycle that started two years ago.
Stein has kept a high-profile during his time as the state’s attorney general by looking into cases involving the opioid epidemic, solar energy companies and the Taylor Swift Ticketmaster incident.
He will be running in 2024 when the governorship is up for grabs because Roy Cooper can’t run for another term as governor.
