Early life and careerTaylor was born in Wadesboro, North Carolina on April 1, 1924, the son of Hoyt Patrick Taylor, who also served as Lieutenant Governor of the state.[1] The two are the only father-son pair to have held the office.[1] The younger Taylor went on to receive undergraduate and law degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and to serve in the Marine Corps in both World War II and the Korean War.[3][1] He subsequently practiced law in Wadesboro.[1] Political careerIn 1955, he was elected to represent Anson County in the North Carolina House of Representatives and served through 1967, the two last years as speaker.[3][1] In May 1968, Taylor won the Democratic primary for Lieutnant Governor over Margaret Harper[2], the first major party woman to campaign for the post. He then went on to defeat St. Rep. Don H. Garren in the general election of 1968[3] by the narrowest margin in decades (55-45%). He served as Lieutenant Governor for Governor Bob Scott from 1969 to 1973. He was close to the governor and assisted with the legislative agenda.[10] To pay for increased spending on education and infrastructure, the administration favoured increased taxes, including tobac taxes. The period was marked by racial unrest, especially at the universities. Taylor opposed segregation and other racial inequalities, but did not at the time speak so clearly against racism as he would later do.[10] Scott was constitutionally prevented from running for another term as governor, and Taylor chose to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for new governor. His prime opponents there was Skipper Bowles, a wealthy businessman who also had political and administrative experience and the Wilbur Hobby of AFL-CIO. In the May 1972 primary, Bowles received about 372,000 votes to Taylor's about 310,000[4] The tax hikes had been unpopular and contributed to Taylor's relatively weak result.[4] And while Taylor had run a traditional campaign, Bowles had introduced more sophisticated methods with regard to focus groups, opinio polls and tv commercials with the help of åolitical consultant Walter DeVries.[4] Taylor was defeated in the 1972 primary runoff by Bowles after a tough race where Taylor was supported by the Scott wing of the party, while Bowles was supported by much of the old Sanford wing, as well as making inroads with black voters.[4] As one of many people Taylor received a couple of votes for the Democratic Vice-Presidential nomination at the 1972 Democratic National Convention. {{fact|date=April 2018}} In his 2014 book The Making of a Southern Democracy, political scientist Tom Eamon describes Taylor as a calm and reasonable politician, but lacking somewhat in hunger for political power and sometimes informally described by contemporaries as being a little lazy.[5] Later live, personal life and legacyAfter the defeat in 1972, he retired from electoral politics and resumed the practice of law in Wadesboro. He was a member of several boards. In 2005, Taylor published the book Fourth Down & Goal to Go where he told about life and politics in Anson County and North Carolina generally.[1] Taylor was married to Elizabeth Lockhart Taylor for over sixty years. They had three children and four grandchildren.[6] In his older days, Taylor suffered from dementia.[1]. He died on April 22, 2018 at the age of 94 in Wadesboro, North Carolina.[7] He was a member of the Calvary Episcopal Church of Wadesboro, a Rotarian and a Freemason.[8] The North Carolina General Assembly honored Taylor and his father in a resolution in 2010. South Piedmont Community College named a center after him and his wife and part of a local road has got his hame.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Abby Cavenaugh (29 July 2015) [https://www.yourdailyjournal.com/archive/7107/news-news-152780342-former-lieutenant-governor-pat-taylor-turns-91 Former lieutenant governor Pat Taylor turns 91] Richmond County Daily Journal.
