NC-SEN: Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory announces bid for US Senate seat in 2022
Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrorys career in politics is not over.
McCrory, a Republican who served one term as the states chief executive and 14 years as Charlottes mayor, has launched a campaign website announcing his run for North Carolinas open U.S. Senate seat in 2022.
McCrory made the official announcement on his popular WBT radio show Wednesday morning. He is leaving the show.
Im in. Im in. Im going to run for the U.S. Senate because Im simply the best for the job, McCrory said. Of all the candidates that are considering to run for the U.S. Senate Republicans and Democrats I am the best for the job, and if I wasnt, I wouldnt run.
McCrory joins former U.S. Rep. Mark Walker as top-tier candidates in the Republican field to replace Richard Burr, who is not running for a fourth term in 2022. U.S. Rep. Ted Budd is considering a run, as is North Carolina native Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump, and Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.
