Pat McCrory

What interests me about Pat McCrory is the patience of his climb. A Catawba College graduate from Columbus, Ohio, he served as mayor of Charlotte for fourteen years before becoming North Carolina's governor in 2013. That's a textbook bottom-up political career—earning trust at the local level for over a decade before reaching the state's highest office. Whatever one makes of his Republican politics, a long mayoral tenure signals genuine roots in a community, and his background in business suggests a leader who valued practical, on-the-ground experience. I tend to respect people who ascend by steady accumulation rather than sudden leaps.
