| Description | OXFORD - Richard Moore, a two-term state treasurer and former secretary of crime control, officially announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor Tuesday.
Moore, 46, made the announcement in a courtyard at his high school in Oxford. Several hundred campaign volunteers and family friends were treated to barbecue and live bluegrass.
He grew up in the small Granville County town, where his father was a warehouse owner and his grandfather once served as a congressman.
In a 20-minute speech, he cited small-town values, pledging to bring a "common sense" approach to state government. He noted that his father hated to throw anything away, making him learn to rebuild a lawn mower when he was young. |
