RALEIGH, N.C. — Several more top lieutenants of outgoing North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper have agreed to work for fellow Democrat and successor Josh Stein’s administration, including two Cabinet secretaries and the state budget director, each of whom will stay in their current posts. The continued service of Public Safety Secretary Eddie Buffaloe, Transportation Secretary Joey Hopkins and State Budget Director Kristin Walker highlighted six staffing decisions that the governor-elect announced on Tuesday. Walker, who became North Carolina’s first female budget director in 2022, has advocated for Cooper’s Helene spending requests to the General Assembly. Stein also said Tuesday that longtime Cooper lobbyist and aide Lee Lilley is his choice for commerce secretary, while Wilson’s current chief deputy — Staci Meyer — will become state human resources director.
