A second prominent Democrat has entered the previously uncontested Democratic primary for North Carolina governor in 2024.
“My vision is to provide all North Carolinians with fair opportunities in which they may thrive and succeed,” Morgan said Tuesday. “I am running on a platform that calls for a change to the system that allows the working people, children and families of North Carolina to be ignored and taken for granted.”
North Carolina’s gubernatorial race is expected to be among the most competitive and expensive in the nation. While Republicans have controlled the General Assembly since 2011 and currently hold a supermajority, they have only controlled the governor’s office for four of the last 30 years.including Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, State Treasurer Dale Folwell, former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker, former state legislator Andy Wells and retired health care executive Jesse Thomas.
In his campaign announcement, Morgan criticized elected officials from both major parties for “trying to select the people’s leaders and determining our destinies.” He pledged to challenge the status quo that he said allows a select few to assert power over all of the state’s residents., an appellate judge and longtime voting rights attorney, to the state Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by Morgan.
