Mo Green Wins North Carolina Superintendent Race

Democrat Mo Green narrowly defeats Michele Morrow in a closely watched contest for state education leadership.

Mo Green, a Democrat and former superintendent, has been elected as North Carolina's Superintendent of Public Instruction, overseeing a budget of $11 billion and more than 2,500 schools.
Green's opponent, Michele Morrow, a Republican with controversial past statements, conceded the race but vowed to continue advocating for educational reforms.
Green emphasized his commitment to public education, literacy, character development, and increased mental health support, while opposing taxpayer-funded vouchers for private schools.
Morrow's campaign was marked by divisive rhetoric, including calls for the execution of prominent Democrats and disparaging remarks about the LGBTQ+ community.
The race highlighted broader cultural conflicts over public education, with Green focusing on equity and inclusion and Morrow advocating for privatization and parental rights.
