Chalk one up for Bob Orr in one of his rival's hometown.
The Black Political Caucus of Charlotte-Mecklenburg has endorsed Orr, a former state Supreme Court justice who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor.
Orr couldn't help but point out that the endorsement did not go to one of his rivals for the GOP nomination - Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory.
"However, I am concerned with Pat's failure once again to reach out in his own community as shown by his failure to attend the (group's) meeting," Orr said in a statement. "For a Republican to win a statewide election, it is critical to reach out to people, even those who have not traditionally supported Republicans."
The group has also endorsed Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
