CANDIDATE BACKGROUND

Josh Stein is running for Governor of North Carolina. As North Carolina's 76th Governor, he has fought to create economic opportunity for all North Carolinians, lower costs for families struggling with inflation, and help western North Carolina rebuild after Hurricane Helene.

He is committed to lowering energy costs for families, reducing North Carolina’s dependence on carbon, and expanding the state’s clean energy economy. Since taking office, he established the North Carolina Energy Policy Taskforce and expanded the state's Energy Saver program to all 100 counties, helping households save about $1,000 in utility bills each year through rebates for home efficiency upgrades and high-efficiency electrical appliances.
