Rep. Jamie Boles Puts the 'Fun' in Funeral & Legislating
Summary
House Justice & Public Safety Appropriations Chair Jamie Boles, who has represented Moore County since 2008, recalls the General Assembly transition from Democratic-control to Republican-control after the 2010 election, relates the funeral business to NC politics, discusses his side career as a fire truck driver and EMT, and shares how humor has served him in the General Assembly.
Brian also reflects on how a day with Rep. Boles in 2013 helped him through a career crisis and how it led to New Frame and #DoPoliticsBetter.
Brian and Skye talk about ALEC, the politics of COVID-19, a closed-door meeting between legislative leaders and the leadership of the NC High School Athletic Association, the Tweet-of-the-Week, and more.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame and the NC Travel Industry Association.
