Honored to be a part of this work with @JoshStein_, a great leader who knows how to get things done that help lots of people and make our state and country stronger.

[Josh Stein @JoshStein_]

It has been my genuine honor on their behalf to lead these negotiations to hold accountable the companies that helped to create & fuel this crisis. I thank my AG colleagues for their bi-partisan teamwork & @Swainwood, my first assistant, for his service to the nation. 4/4

[Swain Wood @Swainwood]

@JudgeBobOrr Agreed. Notable that they kept asking Ryan bad-faith questions and then would interrupt him as soon as he began to respond.

[Swain Wood @Swainwood]

NC voters know that @JoshStein_ is fighting for them on issues that really matter.

[PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls]

Our first look at the North Carolina Democratic primaries finds Josh Stein with a commanding lead- he’s at 56% with his opponents at 5% or less. He leads Mike Morgan 49-6 with Black voters

Sometimes good things happen to good people. I could not be happier for Joe Bamisile. Thank you to VCU Athletics for their strong support of Joe throughout this ordeal.

@toschoon @RossMartinNC Thanks Trevor!

[Josh Stein @JoshStein_]

NC was just recognized as 1 of 2 states best investing our share of the national opioid money by @JohnsHopkinsSPH. We have built a remarkable partnership among my office, @NCACC, @ncdhhs, UNC-IPRC, NCGA, & thousands of people & organizations - all dedicated to helping people.

Absolutely thrilled to have Kenzie Rakes on our team! https://t.co/w6xt8TBTFs

No doubt that the activist partisan judges of this era are on the Right.

[Josh Stein @JoshStein_]

The Court’s ruling in Harper v. Hall today is a devastating blow to democracy. Our constitution is supposed to be a check on the power of the legislature. But these Republican justices have surrendered that role, taking power away from the people and giving it to an out-of-control gerrymandered Republican supermajority in the legislature. I will not stop fighting so the voters choose their representatives, not the other way around.

Leslie is a phenomenal public servant and an incredible asset to our state.

[NC Attorney General @NCAGO]

Meet Leslie Cooley Dismukes, DOJ's Criminal Bureau Chief. Leslie oversees the Criminal Bureau & helps fight to protect North Carolinians and hold offenders accountable.

We appreciate her leadership and contributions to the state & our office! #WomensHistoryMonth

[Swain Wood @Swainwood]

I enjoyed the chance to share few thoughts with Lawyers Weekly about the national opioid settlements, the thrill of managing difficult negotiations, and hiking in Big Sur. https://t.co/t8fCHckOyR

BREAKING: Attorney General @JoshStein_ is demanding Pactiv Evergreen to uphold its legal obligations to its employees, the town of Canton, and the state after the company announced it’s closing the Canton paper mill. https://t.co/KhV3WBjPnz

[Swain Wood @Swainwood]

@McKinneyWC He got on the Duke bandwagon pretty quick, too.

[Swain Wood @Swainwood]

I’m so excited and proud to have been able to hand over the reins to someone as talented, energetic, and committed as Sarah @boldsticker

[Sarah Boyce @boldsticker]

Seems like the appropriate time to highlight that I’ve changed jobs! I left the SG’s office at the start of 2023 to become Deputy AG and General Counsel @NCAGO.

It’s been an exciting first two months, and we are full steam ahead to make the most of the next two years.

So proud of my @NCAGO colleague and friend Jasmine McGhee (@jazzapedia) -- an amazing leader who is as effective as she is inspirational.
