Michael Francis (Mike) Easley is the current governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina. He is a Democrat and North Carolina's second Catholic governor. Thomas Burke was the first, though Easley is the first elected by popular vote.
Easley was raised a Roman Catholic in otherwise overwhelmingly Protestant Nash County, North Carolina. His father owned one of the two big tobacco warehouses in the area. Easley earned a degree in political science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972. He then attended the North Carolina Central University School of Law, earning his J.D. degree in 1976.
From 1982 to 1990, Easley served as the district attorney for the 13th Judicial District in North Carolina, covering Brunswick, Bladen, and Columbus counties. A Democrat, Easley was elected North Carolina Attorney General in 1992, serving during the administration of Governor Jim Hunt.
In 2000, Easley ran to succeed the term-limited Hunt as Governor of North Carolina. He defeated incumbent Lt. Governor Dennis A. Wicker in the Democratic party primary, and then successfully challenged former Charlotte mayor Richard Vinroot (R) in the general election, to become the first Governor of North Carolina in 28 years to not be named James. Easley was reelected in 2004, running against New Hanover County's state senator, Patrick Ballantine.
