It hasn't been officially announced yet but according to the Charlotte Observer, Charlotte's Mayor Pat McCrory filed paperwork with the NC Board of Elections that indicate he plans to run for governor of NC.
Mayor McCrory was just re-elected to his seventh term as Charlotte's Mayor and has been in office during the extensive growth that we've seen in this city over the last decade. He's been an outspoken advocate for homeland security measures as well as light rail transit here in Charlotte which has had a tremendous impact on real estate growth in Charlotte NC's South Blvd corridor.
How would he do as governor of NC and will he have statewide support to win that position? Obviously he's popular enough here in Charlotte that we continue to keep him in office. NC's a large state and issues vary from region to region within the state but then again Charlotte certainly isn't a homogeneous city with only one side to any issue.
Personally I think it would be great to have a governor with a history and proven track record of effectiveness and public support from a large urban area in the state.

I am loving Mayor McCrory! He joins us every year at our church barbecue. I guess that should be reason enough but I also like the way he stands up for his words. He doesn't tend to apologize for things and I like that!
