RALEIGH – The NCAE Great Public Schools Fund congratulates all five of its endorsed candidates who won statewide primaries on Tuesday. NCAE was proud to endorse each of these candidates based on their commitment to public education, their experience, and their connection to members. NCAE now looks forward to a general election in which the future of public schools, where the vast majority of North Carolina students attend, will be a central issue for voters with these candidates as standard-bearers.

The NCAE Great Public Schools Fund-endorsed winners in the primary include:

• Josh Stein, candidate for governor

• Rachel Hunt, candidate for lieutenant governor

• Jeff Jackson, candidate for attorney general

• Maurice “Mo” Green, candidate for superintendent of public instruction

• Wesley Harris, candidate for treasurer

“The 2024 general election will be critical to the future of public education in North Carolina,” said Tamika Walker Kelly, NCAE president. “While anti-public school politicians want to tear down our schools, we need elected officials who will build them up. These candidates will help us build a movement to bring the guarantee of excellence in public education to every child in North Carolina, no matter their race, gender, income or neighborhood.”

The NCAE Great Public Schools Fund is the affiliated PAC of the North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE).
