In response to all the buzz that filing a little paperwork can get you, Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory's campaign put out this statement tonight:
Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory, in compliance with State Board of Election Law, has filed organizational papers which allows him to raise funds and explore the opportunity for a possible run for North Carolina Governor.This is only the first step in the process for statewide office as required by law.
Pat McCrory will announce his intentions within the next week.
The Mayor is currently attending a meeting of the North Carolina Metropolitan Coalition, a group of Mayors from throughout the state. This is an organization which McCrory established and organized six years ago.
They are discussing finding viable solutions to transportation congestion, gang-related crime, the environment and other issues important to towns and cities across North Carolina.
