Two Opposites Run for N.C. State Treasurer
The state treasurer’s race is the most important political contest in North Carolina that isn’t making the daily headlines.
Democrat Janet Cowell and Republican Bill Daughtridge are trying to replace Moore as North Carolina’s chief investment officer. The state treasurer also serves on key panels, such as the state board of education, chairs the state banking commission, and oversees the agency that ensures local governments don’t take on more fiscal responsibilities than they can chew.
This is a very good editorial by John Hood about an under-the-radar race. Please remember that the entire N.C. state cabinet is up for election this year. I’ll try to post more about the candidates and their platforms, but please take it upon yourself to learn as much as you can about these important but unheralded races.
