About
Morris "Mac" McAdoo for Mecklenburg County Commission - District 1
I was born and raised in a small town in Central North Carolina, just ninety minutes from Charlotte, where my mother and grandmother instilled in me a deep commitment to community service and responsibility. From an early age, I learned that true leadership comes from listening, serving others, and standing up for what’s right, even when it’s difficult.
​
That commitment has guided me throughout my life and career. As a prosecutor, I stood up for special needs victims who often had no one else to fight for them. Later, I devoted years of my legal practice to advocating for people with disabilities ensuring their rights were upheld and their voices were heard. Today, as the founder of the McAdoo Law Group in Uptown Charlotte, I continue to serve small businesses and individuals, helping families and communities navigate challenges with dignity and fairness.
​
My service extends beyond the courtroom. In Charlotte, I’ve been honored to serve on the Organization:
​
-
Founding Chair of the PSF Foundation, which supports our young people in North Charlotte
-
Past Board Member the Mecklenburg County Bar Association
-
Past Chairman of the John S. Leary Bar Association of Black Attorneys,
-
Past Board Member of the Privatization/Competition Advisory Committee for the City of Charlotte
-
Past Vice-Chairman of the Local Advisory Council for NC Legal Aid
-
Past 2nd Vice Chairman of the Black Political Caucus, and
-
Past Board Member of the North Carolina Association of Black Attorneys.
​
I am also proud to be a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., where the commitment to achievement and community service mirrors the values I strive to live by each day.
​
Each of these experiences has reinforced my belief that strong communities require principled, accessible, and accountable local leadership. I am running for Mecklenburg County Commissioner, District 1, because county government directly shapes our daily lives from housing affordability and land use decisions to environmental stewardship, public safety, mental health services, and support for working families.
