Republican Pat McCrory is out today with a new television ad in his campaign for governor.
"Feet" makes some reference to McCrory's support for energy exploration, although it doesn't mention the controversial process of "fracking" by name.
"The path to prosperity and thousands of jobs is right under our feet and off our coast. Those are our natural resources, let’s unleash their power safely and get back to being great again," McCrory says in the spot.
