George Little (1942-)George W. Little (born March 22 1942) is a Republican politician from the U.S. state of North Carolina and was a candidate for North Carolina Governor in the 2004 gubernatorial election. Born in Pinehurst, North Carolina, raised in Southern Pines, and an alumnus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Little is an insurance executive. He has been involved with the Republican party since the 1970s, having served on the gubernatorial campaigns of Jim Holshouser and Jim Martin, as well as chair of the Moore County Republican Party. During Jim Holshouser's tenure as governor, Little was appointed Secretary of Natural and Economic Resources. More recently, Little has served on the Sandhills Community College Board of Trustees and campaigned for the successful 2000 North Carolina higher education bond measure. Little entered the race for the Repulican primary nomination to challenge incumbent Democratic Governor Mike Easley in 2004. The only one out of a field of six challengers who had not ever held elected office, Little's largely self-finaced campaign earned him only 4% of the popular vote and left him in last place out of the crowded primary field.
