Mike Hager as Majority Leader | 2014-11-25 | 2014 | 2014-11 | Republican | House | NC | Patrick McHenry | M001156 | mchenry.house.gov | legacy | Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry today praised the selection of State Representative Tim Moore of Cleveland County to be the next Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives. Moore was chosen on the first ballot by the Republican Caucus and will succeed Speaker Thom Tillis who was elected to the U.S. Senate. “Tim Moore and I were both elected to the North Carolina House in 2002 and it was clear from the very start that Tim was a natural leader and would do great things for our state,” said Congressman McHenry. “I’m thrilled not just to have a Speaker from the Tenth Congressional District, but especially one of Tim’s caliber serving North Carolina.” Another representative from the Tenth District also claimed the position of N.C. House Majority Leader. Representative Mike Hager of Rutherford County was elected to the top post in the GOP Caucus. “Mike has been a solid leader on the issues of energy and economic development and he has fought tirelessly for his constituents in Rutherford and Burke Counties. I know he will be a great Majority Leader.” McHenry said. “I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention my State Representative, Jason Saine of Lincoln County, who ran a strong campaign for Majority Leader. Jason will continue to be an influential leader in the Legislature and I’m proud to call him my Representative.” The North Carolina General Assembly will convene in January. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
