SC governor to help raise money for McCrory in NC

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina governor candidate Pat McCrory is getting more help raising money from a sitting Republican governor, Nikki Haley of South Carolina.

McCrory’s campaign said Thursday that Haley will headline a fundraiser for his campaign Feb. 27 at a private home in Winston-Salem. Donations to attend the reception range from $1,000 to $4,000.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie attended fundraising events last fall for McCrory, the former Charlotte mayor and 2008 candidate for governor. McCrory is considered the presumptive GOP nominee this year.
