North Carolina Attorney General

Dan Bishop

Republican Dan Bishop, who has represented North Carolina’s 8th District in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2023, is running for state attorney general. Before serving in Congress, Bishop was a state senator, where he gained attention for authoring HB2, or the “bathroom bill,” which required individuals to use public restrooms based on their biological sex as listed on their birth certificates. He also served as state representative. 

With nearly 30 years of experience as a commercial litigator, Bishop emphasizes his legal background in his campaign. According to his campaign, he is running for attorney general to “defend the rule of law and protect North Carolina.”
