Josh Stein’s Vision for NC. Like or Don’t Like?
My vision for North Carolina is of a state where:
Every one of us has a fair shot to succeed, including having access to strong public schools and good-paying jobs
Communities are safe from threats of gun violence and opioid addiction;
Our democracy and voting rights are held sacred by all those who serve in public office;
And fundamental rights — like the freedom to make one’s own reproductive choices — are defended.

Warning to Rich Oppressors
1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

But let’s be very clear: Republicans will stop at nothing to undermine our elections – and state legislatures remain on the front lines in the battle for our democracy.
