GREENSBORO – Marlena Beard, a junior political science major at UNC Greensboro, admits she’s still learning about Attorney General Josh Stein, the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina. But there is one reason she supports him right off the bat.
“He’s not a Republican,” Beard said.
Beard was among the crowd of several hundred supporters gathered at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro campus on Sunday for a “Right Time with Stein” event, where he was joined by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Stein is continuing to crisscross the state to introduce himself to voters and spread his message.
“I think the Democrats are better for America right now,” Beard said. “I came here to educate myself on Mr. Stein and his policies.”
