Josh Stein (born September 13, 1966) is an American lawyer and politician who serves as the 50th and current Attorney General of North Carolina. He took office at noon on January 1, 2017. Stein was most recently a member of the North Carolina Senate representing District 16 (Wake County). Stein was sworn in for his first term on January 15, 2009. After being re-elected, he was elected minority whip by his colleagues in December 2010.
Josh Stein is married to Anna Harris Stein and has three children – Sam, Adam, and Leah. Stein graduated from Chapel Hill High School and lives in Raleigh. Stein earned his undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College and went on to Harvard Law School and the Kennedy School of Government. He has worked for the Self-Help Credit Union in Durham and the United States Senate. Prior to serving in the General Assembly, Stein spent eight years as North Carolina's Deputy Attorney General for Consumer Protection.
He announced in 2013 that he would run for re-election in 2014 and then for North Carolina Attorney General in 2016. His former boss, Attorney General Roy Cooper, successfully ran for Governor in 2016. In 2014, Stein was opposed by Republican Molotov Mitchell, who ran an "unusual" campaign - challenging Stein to push-ups and promising to "bounce" a National Security Agency-funded laboratory from the campus of North Carolina State University. Stein was re-elected in a landslide.
