Pittenger Takes First Step Toward Lt Governor Race
State Sen. Robert Pittenger of Charlotte has taken a big step toward a run for lieutenant governor.
Pittenger filed papers Monday with the State Board of Elections changing his campaign committee to a campaign for the state’s No. 2 office, reports The Charlotte Observer’s Mark Johnson.
“I wanted to make sure I filed the papers correctly in the event I make that decision” to run, Pittenger said.
Pittenger is a strong fiscal conservative and has taken a firm stance against the illegal immigration problem that is growing throughout North Carolina. He would make a good lieutenant governor.
