A Republican, McLean has held the mayoral office following a 2008 runoff election. ==Political career== Prior to his mayoral election, McLean had worked from 1974 to 1996 at Elizabeth City State University,〔http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/hbcu-supporters-power-change-17219〕 he served during his tenure as the Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer for Elizabeth City State University.〔http://mcleanformayor.com/biography.html〕 He has also served in the Elizabeth City Chamber of Commerce on the Board of Directors, and on the Elizabeth City Housing Authority and Planning Board.〔http://mcleanformayor.com/biography.html〕 In the 2008 mayoral election, Roger McLean ran with a strong focus on reducing the electric department budget,〔http://hamptonroads.com/2009/10/elizabeth-city-candidates-focus-electric-rates-jobs〕 and, in the initial election, did not receive a majority over candidates Don Cherry and H. Rick Gardner. The following month, McLean defeated runner-up candidate Gardner by a margin of 392 votes.〔http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/mclean-wins-elizabeth-city-nc-mayoral-runoff〕 On February 8, 2010, McLean entered into a discussion with the North Carolina Electric Municipal Agency, the supplier of electricity for Elizabeth City, and considered the sudden termination of a contract which committed the city to repay a debt incurred to NCEMPA and to purchase electricity solely from this agency. Given the possibility that this termination could result in a lawsuit from the other 31 cities which comprise NCEMPA filing a lawsuit against Elizabeth City, McLean suggested to let "ElectriCities sue us.”Which was a very brave but much needed statement 〔http://www.dailyadvance.com/news/mayor-electricities-sue-us-15220〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger McLean」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
