North State Journal: “Republican U.S. Dan Bishop (NC-08) officially filed his paperwork to run for North Carolina attorney general on Friday, Dec. 8.
Bishop filed alongside multiple state district attorneys, including Mike Hardin (Hoke/Moore) and Andy Gregson (Randolph).
Gregson has been in office since 2017. Hardin is running for a second term.
“I’m going to pursue this office to restore a culture of law and order,” Bishop told North State Journal after filing his candidacy paperwork. “Americans across the country and people in North Carolina are fearful, they’re angry, they’re dismayed by this growing sense of disarray and disorder, certainly most prominently in the criminal law area, but also in other areas as they see sort of an erosion of institutions – or the sort of co-opting of institutions – that cause them to do things that are contrary to law and order.” “
