Brad Briner

Brad Briner is running for State Treasurer to address problems and improve the financial performance and soundness of the state pension plans and the State Health Plan for our state employees and retirees.

Brad has been a part of the oversight of financial operations of the state for several years now through his service on the Debt Affordability Advisory Committee to the State Treasurer, and he's proud of North Carolina's AAA bond rating and prudent financial management.

As treasurer, Brad would aim to continue managing the financial operations of the state as they have been by the current Treasurer. The state pension plans, though, have failed to meet their target investment return of 7% for over 20 years, instead delivering only a 6.2% annualized return. While a 0.8% annual shortfall in investment returns may not sound like a meaningful amount, the pension plans manage over $100 billion, making these shortfalls amount to over $800 million annually. State legislators must appropriate the shortfall out of tax collections to protect North Carolina's AAA credit rating. Every dollar that state legislators appropriate to make up for the pension plan's shortfall in investment returns is a dollar that cannot be returned to taxpayers through tax reductions or spent on other priorities like public safety, our education system, state employee compensation, cost-of-living adjustments for retirees or transportation infrastructure. The goal of these plans is to exceed their required return at the lowest risk possible, but we have recently focused much more on lowering fees and risk rather than delivering necessary returns. Brad's experience managing large investment programs will allow him to solve this problem and deliver the targeted returns without taking on unnecessary risk.

Mike Causey

Mike Causey is not just another candidate - he's lived the life and understands what is involved with the insurance industry. Mike Causey has 25 years of experience working in insurance. He is also a military veteran and understands the laws. Mike Causey is truly a "man of the people." He's not about fame or status - he's just a man who cares about North Carolina and wants to make a difference in his community.

MORE COMPETITION

Mike Causey believes that more competition in North Carolina’s insurance industry will provide lower rates for consumers and greater access to better products.

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY

Mike Causey is making a difference and implementing needed reforms by cutting red tape, increasing transparency, and reversing years of consumer frustration over insurance claims.

GREAT ACCESSIBILITY

Mike Causey is putting taxpayers first by making the commissioner’s office more accessible, improving customer service, and increasing access to “real people” who resolve problems.

BUREAUCRATIC REFORM

North Carolina is the only remaining state with a Rate Bureau. Mike Causey is helping reform an antiquated bureaucracy that kills free enterprise and rewards bad drivers at the expense of good drivers.

PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST

As a candidate for commissioner of insurance, Mike Causey promised to put you and your concerns first, and he has done just that since taking office. Mike has fought for North Carolina policyholders and consumers by opposing rate hikes on homeowner’s insurance and car insurance. He has cracked down on insurance fraud – saving policyholders and arresting more than 1,000 people who were gaming the system, which costs all of us.

Most importantly, Commissioner Causey has opposed efforts to impose more government mandates and control over your healthcare insurance. Mike has supported efforts to pass Association Health Plans, which makes healthcare coverage more affordable and provides real competition in the marketplace.

CITIZEN-FRIENDLY SERVICE

Prior to Commissioner Causey taking office, consumers would call the commissioner of insurance’s office and feel like they did not have a voice or any power against the insurance companies.

Commissioner Causey’s mission has been to make sure policyholders and consumers in North Carolina receive citizen-friendly service. You need to know your Commissioner of Insurance is an advocate for you. It’s about cutting the bureaucracy and the red tape. It’s about standing up for the working men and women – making sure they have an ally who will go to the mat for them – who will take on the insurance industry and hold them accountable.

FRAUD & ABUSE

Upon being sworn-in to office, Commissioner Causey was astounded to learn the department had only 20 sworn law-enforcement to investigate thousands of insurance fraud cases. The investigators were so overwhelmed that they weren’t able to be effective.

As Commissioner, Mike has worked with the state legislature to double the number of fraud and abuse investigators in the Department of Insurance. Criminals are now being investigated and prosecuted for gaming the system. Mike knows criminals must be held accountable, so there is a fair playing field for the hard-working men and women of North Carolina.

WORKING WITH OUR FIRE DEPARTMENTS

North Carolina’s fire and rescue departments stand on the front line for public safety in our state. Prior to taking office, Commissioner Causey was blown away by the number of local fire departments that had not seen an official inspector, in some cases as long as 25 years. Hundreds of departments were being ignored.
Commissioner Causey went to the state legislature and requested additional fire department inspectors — then went to work.

Over the past three years, a backlog of more than 500 department inspections has been cleared – making sure they have up-to-date inspections and certifications. The safety ratings of fire departments directly impact the amount you pay for your homeowner’s insurance. The Department of Insurance’s focus on improving safety ratings of fire departments led to real savings in many communities across North Carolina.

Mark Robinson

Mark grew up as the 9th of 10 children in Greensboro. His father was an alcoholic who beat his mother. He died when Mark was in the fifth grade, and he was terrified. His father had been the sole provide for their household. Mark remembers sitting on the porch wondering where he'd be in five years. Would he be in a shelter? In foster care? Would he be separated from his brothers and sisters?

A few days after his father died, his mom's friend came by. She explained that now that her husband was gone, his mother could kick her feet up and relax because the government would take care of everything. But that wasn't his mom. As soon as her friend left, Mark's mom got up and walked over to the local university and got a job as a janitor. She had a fifth-grade education and 5 kids to provide for. She chose to clean up for other kids to provide for her own. She didn't just rise to the challenge, she excelled. She gave a sense of calm and purpose to them. From that point on, they always had what they needed - very little of what they wanted, but always what they needed.

Marks mother was and always will be his hero. She showed him what strength and perseverance looked like first hand, and taught him that with faith, and hard work, he could achieve anything. 

Those early years of hardship were just the beginning of his struggles. He and his wife have endured a lot. Mark lost not one, but two jobs due to NAFTA. They lost homes, cars, and were even forced into bankruptcy. He remembers lying awake at night wondering how he was going to pay the bills. But he never forgot what his mother taught him, and they never gave up.

Together his wife of over 30 years and he persevered and raised two incredible children. No they have two amazing grandkids.

In 2018 Mark's life changed when he gave a speech to the Greensboro City Council that went viral. A year later he launched his campaign for Lieutenant Governor and when he was elected in 2020 became the first black Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina.

As Lieutenant Governor Mark has had the privilege to work on a lot of issues, but his main focus has been on education. It is a passion of his, and the reason he ran for Lieutenant Governor. He has been a vocal proponent of parents knowing what their children are being taught. He has supported providing opportunities for all students to have an education that best suits them, whether that's in a private school, charter school, home school, or public school. Mark has championed workforce development programs to give students more opportunities for success after high school, and was even able to secure over $11 million in the state budge for apprenticeship programs. He has also been extremely outspoken about ensuring that our schools are safe for students and teachers.

There is so much that we need to address in this state and Mark looks forward to sharing his vision throughout the course of his campaign for Governor.
