Secretary of State Elaine Marshall, a Trailblazer in NC Politics
Summary
Secretary of State Elaine Marshall talks about growing up on a farm, how 4-H changed her life, her decision to go to law school, and run for the NC Senate. The Harnett County Democrat also talks about her successful 1996 race against racing champion Richard Petty, which made her the first woman elected statewide in North Carolina.
Skye and Brian also talk about former Governor John Kasich's virtual visit to a Medicaid expansion committee, review the John Locke Foundation's Civitas Partisan Index, and discuss why unaffiliated voters are now the largest voting bloc in the state. And, of course, they run down the #DoPoliticsBetter #NCGA Bracket Challenge.
