North Carolina, Raleigh- After a tense electoral contest between the current Attorney General of North Carolina, Democrat Josh Stein, and the candidate to remain in office, Republican Jim O'Neill, the preliminary results allow us to conclude that Stein has won at the polls .
With 100% of the seals scrutinized, according to the data provided not officially by the Electoral Board, the candidate for the Democratic party managed to maintain his position for four more years.
The count indicates that Stein obtained 50.1% of the votes; while O'Neill received 49.9%, with which there is only 10,769 votes difference between the two.
This is a position of vital importance for the Latino community. Its importance lies in the Attorney General's advocacy and impact on issues related to the DACA program, consumer rights, health coverage, and human trafficking.
In that sense, during his campaign Josh Stein has shown himself as an ally of the Latino community. In fact, during the public conversation organized by Enlace Latino NC and El Centro Hispano, the current attorney general pledged to support laws that give Dreamers a path to citizenship.
“The Trump administration tried to end DACA and that's why we sued, we went to the Supreme Court, we won and we managed to keep the program in place.” This was what Democrat Josh Stein said during the conversation, which took place a few weeks ago.
