Rep. Chris Humphrey, a Republican Winning in a Democratic District
Summary
Rep. Chris Humphrey is a Republican who knows how to win in a Democratic district, something he's been doing since he was elected as a La Grange town councilman and county commissioner in Lenoir County.
The self-described moderate talks of how a Democratic activist convinced him to join the Republican Party in 1990. The former UNC classmate of Speaker Tim Moore also reveals what a failed 2010 primary loss to a now prominent NC state senator taught him about politics.
Brian and Skye also unpack another full week at the General Assembly, including a tense Senate committee meeting debate on critical race theory, budget negotiations, the child marriage bill, anti-riot legislation, high school athletics, the Tweet of the Week, and more.
