From Jonathon Lowe in our Greensboro newsroom..

News 14 Carolina has learned that seven-term Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory will announce his run for governor at 1 p.m. Tuesday in his hometown of Jamestown.

Lt. Governor Beverly Perdue’s campaign has turned down an invitation from News 14 Carolina and Peace College in Raleigh to debate State Treasurer Richard Moore in a live telecast. Last October, we invited both Democratic gubernatorial candidates to debate on the Peace College campus in March or April. Treasurer Moore’s campaign accepted the debate invitation immediately.

Lt. Governor Perdue’s campaign informed News 14 Carolina today they were not making scheduling commitments that far in advance. The News 14 Carolina/Peace College debate would have been available to all Time Warner Cable subscribers in North Carolina and subscribers of other members of the North Carolina Cable Telecommunications Association.
