Pat McCrory attended North Carolina public schools in Jamestown, where his parents and teachers instilled in him the belief that everyone has a personal responsibility to fulfill their God-given potential.

In 1995, Pat was elected mayor of Charlotte, going on to serve a record seven terms and steering the city through a period of job growth that transformed it into an international economic powerhouse.

In 2012, Pat McCrory was elected governor during a time of recession, high taxes, budget shortfalls, and stagnant teacher pay. In just four years of strong leadership, he solved each of these problems and led the “Carolina Comeback.”
