Josh Stein (Democratic Party) is the Governor of North Carolina. He assumed office on January 1, 2025. His current term ends on January 1, 2029.

Stein was born in Washington, D.C., and grew up in Chapel Hill and Charlotte, North Carolina. Stein earned a bachelor's degree in history from Dartmouth College in 1988 and a J.D. and master's in public policy from Harvard University in 1995.[1] After his undergraduate education, Stein taught English and economics in Zimbabwe for two years.[2] Stein's other professional experience included working as a real estate project manager with the Self-Help Credit Union and as an adjunct professor at the Campbell University of School of Law where he taught courses in election law, consumer protection, and state legislative policymaking.[1][2]

Stein worked as a campaign manager and deputy chief of staff for Senator John Edwards (D-North Carolina) from 1997 to 2000 and later served as North Carolina's Senior Deputy Attorney General from 2001 to 2009, working under then-Attorney General Roy Cooper (D).

Stein was first elected to public office in 2008, when he defeated John M. Alexander, Jr. (R) 60.8%-39.2% to represent District 16 in the North Carolina Senate. Stein was re-elected in 2010, 2012, and 2014. During his time in the Senate, Stein was a primary sponsor of Senate Bill 238, which became law in 2015, criminalizing certain uses for GPS tracking devices.[3][4]

In 2016, Stein was elected attorney general, defeating Buck Newton (R) 50.2%-49.8%. In the same election, Cooper, who was then the incumbent attorney general, defeated incumbent governor Pat McCrory (R) 49.0%-48.8%.[5]Stein was re-elected in 2020, defeating Jim O'Neill (R) 50.1%-49.9%. According to the Associated Press, as attorney general, Stein "took credit with lawmakers for eliminating the backlog for testing thousands of sexual assault kits in police custody," sued TikTok, and ended the state’s defense of some abortion restrictions and a 2013 voter ID law.[6]

Stein ran for governor in 2024. In his 2024 candidate connection survey, Stein wrote, "As Governor, I will work to deliver the economic security and peace of mind that every North Carolinian deserves by lowering costs, raising the minimum wage, and cutting taxes for working families. I will work to build safe communities by confronting the fentanyl crisis and recruiting and retaining well-trained, public-spirited law enforcement officers. And I will recommit our state to investing in our public schools." In the 2024 election, Stein defeated then Lieutenant Gov. Mark Robinson (R) 54.9%-40.1%, and became North Carolina's first Jewish governor.[6]

Expand all | Collapse all

I learned early on that some things are worth fighting for, no matter the opposition. Julius Chambers, James Ferguson, and my father Adam started North Carolina’s first integrated law firm in Charlotte in the mid-1960s, and they won important victories in our nation’s legal battle for equality. My parents grounded me in values of freedom, justice, and opportunity for everyone, and my faith teaches me that we are called to make a difference.

As Attorney General, I have worked to:

-Protect vulnerable North Carolinians from fraudsters and scammers.

-Tackle the largest backlog of untested rape kits in the country, bringing justice to victims.

- Lead the national effort by state Attorneys General to hold accountable the big drug companies that created and fueled the opioid crisis, securing more than $55 billion in settlement funds – $1.5 billion of which will fund much-needed treatment and recovery services for North Carolinians.

-Hold e-cigarette manufacturer Juul accountable for sparking a teen vaping epidemic – setting a standard the rest of the nation followed.

-Defend women’s reproductive freedoms and people’s right to vote and to vote in fair districts.

As the next Governor of North Carolina, I will bring people together to tackle the issues that impact North Carolinians, including lowering the cost of living, creating good-paying jobs, protecting our public schools, keeping communities safe, and making sure everyone has access to quality, affordable health care.
  • I believe in the promise of this state: that if you work hard, where you come from should not limit how far you can go. I am running for Governor to deliver on that promise.
  • Throughout my career, I have taken on tough fights for the people of North Carolina and delivered, whether it’s families suffering from the opioid crisis or it’s survivors of sexual assault or it’s children being exploited or it’s people whose drinking water has been polluted.
  • As Governor, I’ll keep fighting to build a safer and stronger North Carolina - a state with a thriving economy, strong schools, and safe communities.
I love North Carolina, and I believe in the promise of this state that if you work hard, where you come from should not limit how far you can go. I am running for Governor to deliver on that promise by investing in our people and their futures and building a state with a thriving economy, safe communities, and strong schools. As Governor, I will work to deliver the economic security and peace of mind that every North Carolinian deserves by lowering costs, raising the minimum wage, and cutting taxes for working families. I will work to build safe communities by confronting the fentanyl crisis and recruiting and retaining well-trained, public-spirited law enforcement officers. And I will recommit our state to investing in our public schools.
I look up to my father and his law partners – Julius Chambers and James Ferguson. Back in the mid-1960s in Charlotte, the three of them formed North Carolina’s first integrated law firm. They won path-breaking victories in our nation’s battle against discrimination and for equality. And they did not back down from doing what was right, not even when someone firebombed their office and burned it to the ground. They taught me that some things are worth fighting for, no matter how tough the going is.
The role of Governor is critical. The Governor prepares and presents a state budget and has appointment power over many executive branch officials and members of boards and commissions. Importantly, the Governor also has a bully pulpit to highlight issues that impact North Carolinians and plays a central role in representing our values to the state, country, and world. Finally, a strength of our democracy is its checks and balances. The Governor serves as a check on the legislature, and the branches of government serve to balance each other and deliver results for North Carolinians.
There’s so much to love about North Carolina. We’re home to friendly and good people and to remarkable natural beauty – from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the barrier islands and everywhere in between. And we have a world-class workforce thanks to some of the finest educational institutions in the world. We have been ranked the #1 state for business two years in a row, but if we take our eyes off the prize and wage more culture wars, we risk losing that status and losing our competitive edge.
I am proud to be endorsed by Governor Roy Cooper, the NCAE, the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, Let America Vote / End Citizens United, North Carolina AFL-CIO, the Durham Committee for the Affairs of Black People, the Simkins PAC, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Black Political Caucus, the Raleigh-Wake Citizens Association, the Wake County Voter Education Coalition, Reproductive Freedom For All, Planned Parenthood, YDNC, the Raleigh News & Observer and the Charlotte Observer, and nearly 300 former and current elected officials and faith leaders.

Going to work every day to protect families in the state I love as the NC Attorney General is a privilege. My office protects families from crime, seniors and consumers from fraud, our natural resources, and people's fundamental rights, including the right to vote. I previously served nearly four terms in the state Senate and served eight years as Senior Deputy AG for Consumer Protection. Before that, I was a teacher and a developer of affordable housing. I have had many jobs, but only one career - public service. My family moved to North Carolina in 1967 just after I was born so my father could co-found the state's first integrated law firm, which went on to win many important civil rights victories. My wife Anna and I have been married for nearly 25 years; we have three children - Sam, Adam, and Leah, all of whom attend or attended North Carolina public schools, just like we did.
  • Protecting North Carolina families: As AG, my most important job has been protecting families from crime by prosecuting cases, handling criminal appeals, overseeing the State Crime Lab, assisting local law enforcement, and championing criminal justice reforms. I've targeted robocallers preying on vulnerable North Carolinians, fought hard to combat our state's opioid epidemic, worked to enact policies that will make our justice system fairer for communities of color, and led the effort to eliminate the backlog of untested sexual assault kits. More recently, I have gone after price gougers and scammers who are trying to take advantage of vulnerable people during COVID.
  • Defending people's access to health care: Access to healthcare can be a matter of life and death and is absolutely crucial in the effort to build a stronger North Carolina. During my time in office, I have consistently fought to defend the Affordable Care Act, maintaining health insurance coverage for millions of North Carolinians. I was also the first state Attorney General in the country to sue the e-cigarette manufacturer JUUL, which has aggressively and illegally targeted minors. I am helping to lead the fight against opioid addiction by holding the drug companies accountable.
  • Protecting our environment: As AG, I have not hesitated to hold polluters accountable and protect North Carolina's amazing natural resources. For example, on behalf of the Department of Environmental Quality, my office came to a historic agreement with Duke Energy resulting in the excavation of nearly 80 million tons of coal ash in North Carolina to preserve water quality. And when the federal government has rolled back vital environmental protections, I have sued to preserve these important safeguards for our state so that the air we breathe and the water we drink are clean.
Following graduation from college, I worked for two years as an English and economics teacher in Zimbabwe. This experience instilled in me a longstanding interest in the transformative power of education. As Attorney General, I advocate for universal, high quality pre-K. I also believe we should make higher education at our community colleges and public universities more affordable. I frequently go after student debt relief scammers and bad actor for-profit schools that rip off students.

As Attorney General, I have also pursued policies that promote equity for all North Carolinians and improve public safety. For that reason, I support criminal justice reforms, such as bail reform, juvenile justice reform, and effective reentry. I also support more effective responses to domestic violence and sexual assault. Particularly in light of the killing of George Floyd and the ensuing protests, working toward comprehensive criminal justice reforms must be a priority - and one reason I am honored Gov. Cooper appointed me to co-chair the Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice in North Carolina.

2016

Stein's campaign websites stated that his priorites were increasing resources for school safety, using DNA databases to help with law enforcement, strengthening domestic violence laws, protecting seniors and consumers, and championing clean air and water.[19]

2014

Stein's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[20]

Education

  • Excerpt: "I know that no matter where you live, a quality education is key to a better a future. The budget cuts of recent years have exacted a toll on our schools. We must raise teacher pay to the national average, enhance the effectiveness of teachers through greater use of technology, evaluation, and mentoring, and reduce class size."

Environment

  • Excerpt: "This growth is placing an intense stress on our institutions and infrastructure – our schools, our roads, our water and sewer, our social services and open space. It also contributes to long-term environmental challenges, such as worsening air and water quality."

Health Care

  • Excerpt: "As a nation, we spend more per capita on health care than any other nation in the world, yet our rankings in health outcomes are often at the bottom of the list of industrialized nations. Health care inflation also consistently outstrips general inflation. This trend is simply not sustainable, making clear that we need dramatic changes to how health care is delivered in our nation."

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "North Carolina’s economy remains sluggish in the wake of the Great Recession. Getting people back to work is a top priority. The recipe for economic success in North Carolina is what it always has been – education, infrastructure, and innovation. Our community colleges and universities are the best engines for economic development we have here in North Carolina, and we cannot allow the General Assembly to degrade them. "

Safety

  • Excerpt: "Our communities must be safe. We cannot live our lives to the fullest if we are not secure. It is imperative that we protect our kids at school and that we prevent crime by catching criminals through use of their DNA so they cannot commit more crimes, by banning Internet sweepstakes casinos and video poker, and by reducing the number of convicts who commit future crimes."

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
