VIDEO: Who is Mo Green?

WATCH: Too many media outlets just tell you about the outrageous things MAGA Republicans say and do. What about the people running against them? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Case in point: Since this week’s primary, coverage of the NC race for Superintendent of Public Instruction has been centered on Michele Morrow, the GOP candidate who was at the Jan. 6, 2021 Trump protest that turned into an insurrection. But her opponent, former Greensboro schools superintendent Mo Green, has far more experience in education.

We took a look at Green, who’s hoping to break Democrats’ streak of losing this race. The superintendent doesn’t write education laws, but they are in charge of executing them in all 100 NC counties, so it’s an important job.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for North Carolinians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Cardinal & Pine has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of North Carolina families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
