“North Carolinians overwhelmingly elected Josh Stein as Governor,” said Dan Crawford, NCLCV’s director of governmental relations. “Josh Stein has been the greenest Attorney General in our state’s history. We look forward to working with him to ensure all North Carolinians have access to clean air, clean water, and are included in the just transition to clean energy.

“North Carolinians also elected enough environmental champions to break the pro-polluters’ grip on the state House. Having environmental champions to keep polluters and their politicians in check will bring order back to Raleigh to work for the benefit of our state and its people, not just the super-wealthy, polluting companies.” 

“North Carolinians have once again shown they want everyone to have access to clean air, clean water, and a just transition to a clean energy economy,” said Carrie Clark, NCLCV’s executive director. “Voters have sent a clear message. They want our state leaders to protect our communities, not sit around and reward corporate polluters. They want our leaders to address the climate crisis, not deny it isn’t happening. We look forward to working with all these environmental leaders, and we will continue our work to hold elected officials accountable for their decisions on our shared environment.”
