Former state Treasurer Richard Moore is looking at the governor's race now that Erskine Bowles has decided not to run.
The Democrat is “still very interested and will spend some time calling around the state over the next few days to gather advise and perspective,” Moore said in message sent from a meeting of the Wake Forest University board of trustees meeting Thursday afternoon.
Moore, a former state treasurer, former crime control secretary, and former legislator, unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for governor in 2008, losing to Bev Perdue.
