Rep. John Autry’s Life, Travels, Careers, & Politics
Summary
Just about everyone knows about the infamous "bathroom bill" of 2016, however many don't know that Rep. John Autry was then a Charlotte City Councilman who successfully pushed for the city's non-discrimination ordinance that prompted HB2 that year.
The Mecklenburg County Democrat talks about why pushing for the ordinance was so important to him. He also takes listeners on a life journey that began in Fayetteville and took him across the country through multiple military posts, careers, and experiences.
Skye and Brian also discuss the effect SCOTUS's Dobb's decision is having on political messaging in North Carolina, the latest on the Leandro lawsuit, an expected decision on a NC Senate candidate's residency status, 2024 rumors, and more.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, and the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association.
