Rep. Tim Moffitt is Back in the General Assembly & Busier Than Ever
Rep. Marcia Morey: Olympic Swimmer, Judge, & Legislator
Summary
Rep. Marcia Morey was ranked #2 in the world in 1976 in swimming (breaststroke), the year she represented the USA in the Montreal Olympics. However, systematic doping by the East German swim team denied the future state legislator the opportunity to win an Olympic medal.
The Durham Democrat opens up about how the scandal negatively affected her in the aftermath and how it continues to guide her policy work in North Carolina.
Brian and Skye also talk about a low-key week at the General Assembly, an independent expenditure ad campaign aimed at the NC Supreme Court, and rumors (and rumors of rumors) in North Carolina politics.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, and the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association.
