Today, Attorney General and Democratic nominee for Governor Josh Stein toured the High Point Furniture Market, a historic market displaying North Carolina industry to the world.

“Here at the historic High Point Furniture Market, I am reminded of North Carolina’s talented craftsmen and the importance of this storied industry to our state and economy,” said Attorney General and Democratic nominee for Governor Josh Stein. “As Governor, I will work to invest in advanced manufacturing and workforce development so we can continue to compete and bring good-paying jobs to North Carolina.”

As Governor, Stein will continue to prioritize investing in public education, workforce development, and job training so that every North Carolinian can have a rewarding career.
