RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Former Republican Gov. Pat McCrory on Wednesday announced he ll run for the U.S. Senate in North Carolina, shaking up the calculus in the expanding field to succeed retiring Sen. Richard Burr with the entrance of a veteran of statewide politics. McCrory, who served as governor for four years through 2016, revealed his plans on his morning radio show in Charlotte, where he also served a record 14 years as mayor. McCrory had said in late 2019 that he would strongly consider a Senate bid in 2022. He has quietly built a team of experienced consultants and fundraisers. “I m in,” he told listeners on WBT radio, citing his long record of public service. “I m going to run for the U.S. Senate because I m simply the best for the job of all the candidates that are considering to run . and if I wasn t I wouldn t run.”
