Pundits are already calling this the most contentious and most expensive gubernatorial race of 2024. Polls are within the margin of error. We know this race will be close – statewide races in North Carolina always are. And Republicans are eyeing North Carolina’s governorship as their top pickup opportunity – so we know they’ll pour millions in far-right money into our state. But I never back down from a fight. I’ve spent the last seven years as North Carolina’s Attorney General taking on the big fights – and winning. From building safer communities and holding powerful special interest groups accountable to tackling the backlog of rape kits to deliver justice for survivors, I have and always will work towards building a safer and stronger North Carolina. Now, I’m running for Governor because we’re at a crossroads: We can either cave to extremism or come together to build a better future for North Carolina. My vision for North Carolina is rooted in freedom, justice, and opportunity for everyone. My Republican opponent Mark Robinson wants to bring the GOP’s extremist agenda to North Carolina – which is why Donald Trump and national Republican groups are lining up to support his campaign. Here’s the truth: Mark Robinson is not just wrong for our state, he’s dangerous. Robinson is among the most radical far-right extremists in the nation and has a track record of supporting dangerous policies and peddling conspiracy theories. He denies climate change, the 2020 election results, and even the Holocaust. Mark Robinson wants to tell you who you can marry, when you’ll be pregnant, and who you should hate. Team, despite how wrong Mark Robinson is for our state, he and I are locked in a dead-heat race. I need your help so we’re ready to fight back. [Will you rush $3 or more before midnight to be split between my campaign and the Democratic Governors Association?

Let’s do this, Josh Stein [As North Carolina’s Attorney General since 2017, Josh Stein has strived to fight for what’s right, work to fix what’s wrong, and do right by every single North Carolinian. Always putting the people first, Josh has consistently taken on powerful special interests to protect families – and won. He has been fighting for North Carolinians for over 20 years and is running for Governor to ensure that the people of North Carolina remain the state’s top priority. Josh believes that North Carolina’s progress must be rooted in our shared values of freedom, fairness, and opportunity for everyone. That means fighting extremism at all levels of government and holding bad actors accountable. Will you answer Josh Stein’s call to action?]( [Donate $3 (and have it DOUBLED)]( --------------------------------------------------------------- We’re relying on grassroots supporters to provide us with the urgent resources we need to win nationwide.
