On Monday, former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory announced that he could run for governor or the U.S. Senate in coming months but ruled out a bid for the District 9 seat.
Posted — Updated"I’ve come to a conclusion that I am making a difference right now in educating the public and teaching at UNC but am keeping the option of running for governor or the U.S. Senate," the former governor said around 8:15 a.m.
"I had a dream of being in the U.S. Congress, but my dreams have changed," McCrory said, at one point referencing his age.
The 9th District covers an area that stretches along the South Carolina border from Charlotte to Lumberton before turning noth and taking in southern Cumberland County.
Last week, the State Board of Elections voted to hold a new election in the district, determining that election fraud committed by an operative affiliated with the campaign of Republican Mark harris had tainted the results of the November election.
