Pat McCrory was raised in Jamestown in Guilford County and grew up going to city council meetings with his dad. Then, he attended Salisbury's Catawba College and got his teaching degree. He worked in business for almost thirty years and became Charlotte's youngest and longest serving mayor, helping turn the region into a economic powerhouse. During his tenure as Mayor, Pat ran an ethical government lowering crime and tax rates while the city added tens of thousands of jobs. That's leadership Pat McCrory can bring North Carolina, right now.
