Michael C. "Mike" Stone (born January 9, 1970) is an American businessman and political figure from Sanford, North Carolina. He represented the 51st House District in the North Carolina General Assembly before being defeated in 2014 by an 8 point margin.

Career

[edit]

Stone is a businessman who owned O'Connell's Supermarket in Sanford before it shut down in 2014. He currently owns a number of rental properties.[1][2] In 2010, Stone ran for the House of Representative, defeating Jimmy Love Sr. to take a seat.[3] In 2011, Stone made news when he protested that his then-8-year-old daughter was part of a class-assigned letter writing campaign corresponding with him to protest budget cuts.[4][5]

In 2012, Stone began his second term.[6] In 2013, he introduced several politically contentious bills, among them to switch Sanford city and Lee County school boards from non-partisan to partisan, and to shift the responsibility for assigning school resource officers from the school board to the sheriff's office.[7][8] A third bill passed by legislation to change the members of the Central Carolina Community College board of trustees by removing those four members who had been appointed by the Lee County school board and dividing their seats among the school boards of Lee, Chatham and Harnett counties has resulted in a lawsuit, with the trustees seeking to block their removal.[7]

Stone was defeated by Brad Salmon (D) by eight points in the November 2014 General Election despite a national Republican wave and politically advantageous district.
