Anderson to run for Labor commissioner


Robin Anderson will run for Labor Commissioner.

The Raleigh attorney, who is currently chairwoman of the State Personnel Commission, announced that she would seek the Democratic nomination to face incumbent Cherie Berry.

"If elected, I pledge to work every day to help businesses and employees thrive in a safe, healthy and productive work environment," she said in a statement.

Anderson was appointed to the commission in 1999 and became chair last year. She has previously taught business law at Meredith College's MBA program and served in leadership positions at the N.C. Bar Association.

A graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill's law school, she served as a clerk for state Supreme Court Justice Louis B. Meyer.
