Pat McCrory
Mayor, City of Charlotte
In November 2007, Mayor Pat McCrory became the
first seven-term mayor in the history of the City of Charlotte,
continuing his record as the City's longest-serving mayor.
Mayor McCrory began his political career in Charlotte in 1989 when
he was elected as an At-Large City Council representative in his
first run for an elected office. He was reelected in both 1991 and
1993, serving as Mayor Pro Tem in 1993 until first elected Mayor in
1995.
Mayor McCrory has distinguished himself as a leader in public
safety, economic development, housing and transportation. He has
been recognized nationally for his leadership in developing
Charlotte's 25-year transportation and land use plan, including his
efforts to secure $200 million in federal funds for light rail in
Charlotte. Also, $2 billion in local and state road improvements
have been made throughout the city over the past decade.
During McCrory's time as mayor, the City population has grown by
20%, 200,000 jobs have been created, and he led the effort to
recruit such companies as TIAA-CREF, General Dynamics Armament, The
Westin Hotel, and Johnson & Wales Culinary School. He was also
instrumental in Charlotte being selected as the home of the NASCAR
Hall of Fame, the development of the new Charlotte Arena and the
U.S. Whitewater Center. In 2005, Money Magazine listed Charlotte in
its Top 3 Best Places to Live and Reader's Digest named it one of
the 20 Cleanest Cities in America.
Charlotte's overall quality of life has been impacted through the
mayor's efforts to establish a Residential Tree Ordinance, which
requires developers to save 10% of the trees in every residential
development, the establishment of a Sidewalk Policy that requires
sidewalks in every new subdivision and provides funding for
sidewalks in neighborhoods without them. The mayor also worked to
integrate bike lanes in the city's transportation policy,
establishing 42 miles of bike lanes throughout the city. McCrory
founded the Mayor's Mentoring Alliance in 1995 and has personally
served as a Mentor to two youth. In 2008, Charlotte was named a "100
Best Communities for Youth" by America's Promise for the third year.
Mayor McCrory is involved in many national organizations. He serves
as Chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) Environment
Committee and was appointed by President George W. Bush to the
Homeland Security Advisory Committee in October 2003. He served as
president of the Republican Mayors and Local Officials (RMLO)
organization and was the Founding Chair for the North Carolina
Metropolitan Coalition, a group of the state's 25 large-city mayors.
The mayor has testified before Congress and has been a guest on
several national media broadcasts, including National Public Radio,
ABC World News, Lehrer News Hour, CBS This Morning, MSNBC News, CNN,
CNBC and Fox News, among others.
Mayor McCrory graduated from Catawba College in 1978 with a B.A.
degree in Political Science/ Education. He currently sits on the
Board of Trustees for Catawba College and received an Honorary
Doctorate degree from the school in 2001. In January 2008, the mayor
left his employment with Duke Energy Corporation to enter the race
for governor. He is married to Ann Gordon McCrory.
