North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein says he is running for governor, giving Democrats a high-profile candidate in what's expected to be a competitive contest in 2024.
Stein, 56, shared a campaign launchon social media in which he attacked a potential Republican opponent and highlighted that his father, Adam Stein, had his office firebombed and burned to the ground when he was leading a legal battle against discrimination.
The Democrat then bashed Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who Stein said,"wants to tell you who you can marry, when you will be pregnant and who you should hate." Stein has been North Carolina's attorney general since 2017 and previously served as a member of the state Senate from 2009 to 2016. In May 2022, he had a minor stroke and after recovering said he felt back to normal and had no lingering effects.
