I have officially been drawn out of my district and into a deep red seat that leans Republican by 15 points. It is completely unwinnable under any circumstances. It is blatant political corruption by a small group of politicians, but I've got news for them: I am running to be North Carolina’s next Attorney General. Our current Attorney General, Josh Stein, is running for Governor, so it’s an open seat. My likely opponent will be Rep. Dan Bishop (R), also of Charlotte. You might recognize his name as the author of HB2, the bathroom bill, and as one of the members of the right-flank that’s been causing the chaos in Congress. The election will be November 2024, just over 12 months from now. Those are the basics. Here’s why I’m running: The job of the Attorney General is to protect people. It’s our state’s top prosecutor, but also plays a direct role in guarding against consumer fraud, keeping kids safe online, combating the opioid epidemic, and protecting clean air and water. I’m a former prosecutor, current Major in the U.S. Army JAG Corps, and I’ve spent many years in elected office working on all of those issues. Put all that together, and I think I’m built for this job. I’ve talked it over with Marisa, and we agree that - as unfortunate as it was to be drawn out of my congressional district - it also created the opportunity to serve the whole state. I’m sure that wasn’t the intention of the politicians who redrew the map, but then again, the consequences of corruption are often unpredictable. And in this case, they may include electing a new Attorney General who will never, ever shy away from going after political corruption, no matter which party. This is going to be an extremely close race. The final margin will likely be less than 2%. But all of you have an incredible amount of power - together, you can propel a statewide campaign just by your donations. If that happens, it means we can run the type of campaign I want to run: people-based and no corporate PAC money (just as I’ve taken no corporate PAC money as a member of Congress). Our family is excited. We’re ready to roll. We’re giving this everything we’ve got, and we’d love for the first few days to be a big hit.
