Brad Briner (R), A.J. Daoud (R), and Rachel Johnson (R) are running in the Republican primary for North Carolina Treasurer on March 5, 2024.
Incumbent Dale Folwell (R) is running for governor, leaving the office open.
Briner is a former asset manager. Briner says he will improve a state pension system he says has “substantially underperformed its peers, costing North Carolina taxpayers billions of dollars each year.” Briner says his changes will include transferring authority for making investments from the state treasurer to a committee and pursuing investments that provide higher returns than the pension fund’s current portfolio.
