Pat McCrory On The Brett Winterble Show

Pat McCrory on Leadership, Public Safety, and Charlotte’s Crossroads

Tune in here to this Tuesday’s edition of the Brett Winterble Show!

We’re joined by former North Carolina Governor and former Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory to talk about the federalization of a recent case and broader concerns around public safety and city leadership. In a serious but steady conversation, McCrory reflects on how small issues — like the lack of enforcement on public transit and the growing presence of homelessness — have slowly chipped away at the city’s stability. Drawing on his experience as mayor, he recalls implementing curfews, targeting repeat offenders, and rallying community support to confront crime head-on.

He stresses that the business community shouldn’t sit back, but should be vocal in holding local government accountable. While he expresses concern about the city’s direction over the last 12 to 15 years, McCrory also reaffirms his deep love for Charlotte. His message is clear: it’s time for common-sense leadership, stronger standards, and a willingness to step up before the damage becomes irreversible.
