McCrory to hold fundraiser
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2008-02-19 17:34
Pat McCrory will hold his first major fundraiser Wednesday.
The Republian gubernatorial candidate's new campaign manager, Jack Hawke, said the event has already drawn $400,000 in contributions, the Charlotte Observer reports.
That's roughly the amount of money that McCrory transferred from his mayoral campaign when he first announced his run for governor.
Among the headliners: Bank of America chief Ken Lewis, Duke Energy head Ellen Ruff, Charlotte Bobcats part-owner Skipper Beck; Showmars restaurants founder George Couchell; NASCAR driver Brian Vickers; and NASCAR team owners Ray Evernham, Rick Hendrick and Felix Sabates.
The event will be held at the home of developer Mel Graham, the nephew of the Rev. Billy Graham.
The campaign will not have to report its total contributions for two months.
