Newsline political reporter Galen Bacharier on Roy Cooper’s legacy and the new Stein administration

NC Newsline

A new year is upon us and with it, some important changes in state government. As a result of the November election, North Carolina now has several new leaders serving on its Council of State – most notably a new governor.

After eight years in the governor’s mansion and nearly 40 in elected office, Roy Cooper has exited public service – at least for a while – and turned over the reins of state government to his successor, Gov. Josh Stein. But before he departed, Cooper took a bit of a victory lap to celebrate his administration’s accomplishments and to drop some hints about what might be next in his career. And recently, I got a chance to discuss Cooper’s farewell, the possibility that he’ll seek another office next year, and some of the things that North Carolinians can expect from the Stein administration in a conversation I had with my colleague, NC Newsline politics reporter Galen Bacharier.
