He's beginning a longshot bid against Republican favorite Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson.
Former Republican Rep. Mark Walker launched a campaign for North Carolina governor Saturday, pitching himself as the best chance Republicans have to not squander an opportunity to flip a long sought after gubernatorial seat.
In an interview last month, Walker acknowledged to POLITICO that Robinson would be “the frontrunner” in the race. But he argued that Robinson’s list of controversies could cost Republicans not just the governor’s mansion but other elections in the state as well. Walker opted to not run for reelection to his House seat in 2020 after his Republican-leaning district was obliterated in a redistricting process in 2019, making it significantly more Democratic-leaning. But he has flirted with a statewide run before. He considered running against incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis in 2020, and he finished in a distant third in last year’s Senate primary for an open seat.
