Career

As member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, Stone represented House District 105 in the North Carolina General Assembly. Stone served the remainder of a term in 2016 after being appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory to fill a vacancy and served a full term during the 2017–2018 biennium session.[3] He lost his re-election bid in 2018 to Wesley Harris.[4]

In May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Stone attacked the Pottery Barn chain on Twitter for closing its store at a local mall two hours before the mall's closing time. After many critical replies, Stone deleted the tweet and took his account private.[5]
