NC-TREAS: One of these candidates will be the next NC treasurer. Read about their plans.

This November, voters in North Carolina will pick a new state treasurer to take on the management of the State Health Plan, the state’s $123 billion pension plan and other state employee benefits.

Two candidates want to replace Republican Dale Folwell, who was elected in 2016 and reelected in 2020 as treasurer. This year, he ran unsuccessfully for governor in the Republican primary, leaving the treasurer’s seat open.

The candidates seeking to replace Folwell are Republican Brad Briner and Democrat Wesley Harris.

Briner is a retired financial investor who previously managed the philanthropic assets of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He also serves on the UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees and has a master’s in business administration from Harvard University.
