Republican Pat McCrory’s victory in the North Carolina governor’s race made national news. McCrory’s win represented one of the national GOP’s few bright spots in the 2012 election season. Bloomberg Businessweek sought analysis from John Locke Foundation President John Hood for a profile of North Carolina government’s new top executive.
The Greenville Daily Reflector quoted Director of Research and Education Studies Terry Stoops in an article about McCrory’s education priorities. (“I think right off the bat they are going to begin implementing their vocational education plan,” Terry Stoops, director of research at the John Locke Foundation, a conservative think tank, said.) The Thomasville Times published Carolina Journal Managing Editor Rick Henderson‘s recent column about factors contributing to McCrory’s election victory. Henderson also discussed McCrory and other top statewide political news during an appearance on Matt Mittan’s afternoon radio show on WZGM/WHKP.
