Josh Stein: Freshman Phenom

Josh Stein is the hottest freshman from Raleigh since John Wall.
 
I’ve known Josh for more than a dozen years, and I feel like I helped raise him in politics. So permit me to brag.
 
The N.C.Center for Public Policy Research ranked Josh the most effective freshman in the 2009 General Assembly: 19th among the 50 Senators.
 
That makes Josh is the highest-rated freshman Senator in a decade. And no true freshman (that is, one who was not appointed to fill a vacancy in a prior session) has ranked higher in the survey’s 34 years.
 
Highly ranked freshmen in the past included Tony Rand, Herbert Hyde, Howard Lee and Don Clodfelter.
 
Good company.
 
And Josh, unlike John Wall, probably will be around for a while.
