Robinson hasn&#8217;t announced a run for governor but Stein seems to have felt it was important to take on Robinson in his announcement that he would be running for governor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cRobinson wants to tell you who you can marry, when you\u2019ll be pregnant, and who you should hate,\u201d Stein <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshstein.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> A video of him announcing his run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI\u2019m running for governor because I believe in a very different North Carolina. One rooted in our shared values of freedom, justice and opportunity for everyone. And I believe the fights we choose show who we are and determine what kind of state we\u2019ll become,\u201d Stein <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/nc-democratic-ag-stein-announces-run-governor-immediately-slams-lt-gov-robinson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stein was also vocal on the subject of abortion. This is especially true after last year&#8217;s Republican push to get rid of an injunction against a state law prohibiting almost all abortions after twenty weeks. He did not do so.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cNorth Carolina is one of the last states in the South where women can access a safe and lawful abortion,\u201d Stein reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/01\/18\/north-carolina-governor-2024-campaign-democrat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> In another statement. \u201cAny woman from an anti-choice state who travels to another state is not a criminal; she is accessing health care. I will do everything in my power to preserve women\u2019s freedoms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Democratic Governor Roy Cooper can&#8217;t seek another term. Stein is jumping in to the fray early.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt should be clear that Stein is scared of a primary. He won his last election by less than 15,000 votes out of the more than 5 Million cast,\u201d Conrad Pogorzelski was a political advisor to Robinson and spoke to Fox News Digital. \u201cHe is hoping that by creating the narrative that it is him against Robinson, he can avoid a primary against Joan Higginbotham or Michael Regan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stein also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joshstein.org\/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> That he has been \u201cendorsed by a diverse group of more than 150 officials\u201d All over the state, Jim Hunt, former Democratic Governor, was the state House Democratic Leader, many districts attorneys, and members of law enforcement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cJosh Stein is smart, caring, and hardworking \u2014 precisely the type of person we want to be Governor,\u201d Jim Hunt was the former Governor. \u201cHe\u2019ll focus on educating our kids, keeping families safe, and building a strong economy. Electing Josh as our next Governor will be a great thing for North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Stein has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/north-carolina-attorney-general-josh-stein-launches-2024-run-governor-rcna66331\">served<\/a> As the attorney general for the state, he was previously a member the state Senate between 2009 and 2016. He was elected attorney general of the state in 2017 and served as a member of the state Senate from 2009 to 2016. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/best-states\/north-carolina\/articles\/2022-05-25\/nc-attorney-general-stein-out-of-hospital-following-stroke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">experienced<\/a> a minor stroke and said that physicians took out a small blood clot and that he didn\u2019t have any remaining side effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein announced he is running for governor of the state on Wednesday.\u00a0 Stein attempted to portray himself as different from a potential leading Republican contender, North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson.
