16 days agoOur current governor, Roy Cooper, is term limited and he couldn’t run again. So the current state AG Josh Stein ran (and won)
His opponent (our current Lt Gov) was a man who is um …interesting. And made national news for um …interesting things he posted on a porn site. Among other things.
It wasn’t just Governor though, also Lt Gov flipped blue, AG stayed blue, and we flipped enough state seats to blue to break a super majority even with the gerrymandering, and state level Superintendent for Education went blue…
