RALEIGH, N.C. — Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson has scheduled a rally where he is expected to announce his 2024 campaign plans.
Robinson, a Republican, didn’t provide specifics on those plans. But he has long said he’s interested in running for governor, calling his intentions to run one of the state’s worst-kept political secrets.
“It’s going to be an event you don’t want to miss,” Robinson said in a statement Thursday.
The April 22 rally is scheduled to happen at Ace Speedway, an Alamance County racetrack that refused to shut down in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The track’s owners sued the state government, saying its shutdown order violated their rights under the state constitution guaranteeing people “enjoyment of the fruits of their own labor.”
