RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson resigned Wednesday, according to the state Department of Labor.
Dobson won office in 2020 after Cherie Berry, who was widely known as “The Elevator Queen," retired. In 2022, Dobson announced he would not seek a second term.
Dobson submitted his resignation to Gov. Roy Cooper on Wednesday, writing in part,
"I am grateful for the last 14 years I have been able to serve in elected office and the opportunity to be your Commissioner of Labor. After 21 years of public service, I look forward to pursuing new opportunities in the private sector."
