Rep. Jeffrey Elmore: Classroom Teacher, Artist, & Big Budget Chair
Rep. Abe Jones’ Story of Grace & Forgiveness
Summary
Rep. Abe Jones is a man of many accomplishments: student leader in high school, a standout runner, double Harvard graduate, attorney, and Superior Court judge.
That's why a question from a House colleague a couple weeks back questioning his achievements was so hurtful. But, it was not the first time the Wake County Democrat, who is black, has been asked such a question.
Skye and Brian also discuss part two of Governor Cooper's bully pulpit campaign, a party switch elections bill, the Farm Act and sports wagering bills pass, budget update, more Dan Bishop rumors, a pair of big decisions at the NC GOP Convention this weekend, TOTW, and more.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, and the NC Pork Council.
