Daniel Kent McCready (born July 18, 1983) is an American entrepreneur and politician from Charlotte, North Carolina. He served in the United States Marine Corps, achieving the rank of captain. He was the Democratic Party nominee for the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina's 9th congressional district.

Early life and education

McCready is from Charlotte, North Carolina and was educated in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools system. He earned a bachelor's degree in economics from Duke University in 2005.[1] He served as a captain in the United States Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and 2008, where he led two platoons.[2][3] Following his military service, he earned a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School.[4][5]

Career

After earning his MBA in 2011, McCready worked for a year as a management consultant for McKinsey & Company.[6] He left the company in 2013 to cofound Double Time Capital, a solar-focussed clean energy fund, with partner Rye Barcott. [7] [8]

In 2014, he founded This Land, an online store for American crafts that highlighted the work of skilled craftspeople from economically depressed areas who otherwise not have the means to market their products to broad audiences.[9] [10] In 2017, McCready announced that he would be closing the site in order to focus on his Campaign for US House of Representatives. [11]

2018 Campaign for US House of Representatives

{{Main|2018 North Carolina's 9th congressional district election}}

In May 2017, McCready announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in {{ushr|NC|9}}.[12] On May 8, 2018, McCready easily won the Democratic Party primary election,[13] while former pastor Mark Harris, unseated incumbent representative Robert Pittenger in the Republican Primary.[14] The New York Times described the race between Harris and McCready as a "top-tier contest".[15] A CBS News story calls the race "one of the most competitive".[16] On election day, unofficial vote tallies showed Harris defeating McCready by 905 votes, but on November 27, 2018, the North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics Reform declined to certify the election results, citing voting irregularities involving absentee ballots.[17][18] The irregularities became the subject of a criminal investigation.[19]

The Associated Press subsequently retracted calling the race, pending the ultimate decision of the state board of elections. On November 30, the election board of the district decided to hear evidence about “claims of numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities” at a meeting to be held by December 21, which was subsequently delayed to January 10, 2019, after the new congress is scheduled to be seated.[20][21][22] McCready withdrew his earlier submitted electional concession on December 6.[23]

2019 special election

The election board called a special election to be held for the uncalled congressional seat.[24] A newly passed law by the North Carolina state legislature requires such a do-over also includes the holding of new preceding primaries for the parties.[25][26][27] McCready filed to run in the special election.[28]

Personal life

McCready and his wife, Laura, met on a backpacking trip. They have four children.[29]
