RALEIGH, N.C. — Former North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Michael Morgan said Tuesday that he would seek the Democratic nomination for governor, setting up a primary battle against state Attorney General Josh Stein.
“As a devoted North Carolinian and a concerned Democrat, I am disappointed by the growing trend — even in my own political party — of a few folks in power trying to select the people’s leaders and determining our destinies," Morgan said in a statement. "I am committed to challenging the status quo that allows a few at the top to choose the winners and losers among us."
