RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina’s new governor, Josh Stein, gave his official inaugural address virtually Saturday afternoon.
He reiterated his commitment to policies like cutting taxes for the working class, fighting against the fentanyl crisis, and expanding access to broadband internet across the state.
Stein also delivered a message to lawmakers in the General Assembly.
“We have real problems to solve, and we don’t have time to settle petty squabbles or fight divisive culture wars. I want to stand with you as we fight for our people, not with each other. No party has all the answers; good ideas don’t come with party labels. When we work together, we are stronger, and there is no limit to what we can accomplish for the good of the people of this state,” said Stein.
North Carolina’s General Assembly officially started their session earlier this week.
Republicans no longer have the supermajority.
