Tune in here to this ​Wednesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen!

Breaking Brett Jensen kicks off the show talking with former North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley, who recently filed to run for the North Carolina Senate. Whatley describes his campaign as an effort to “discuss the issues that matter for North Carolina.” He says common sense is needed to address the state’s top concerns - particularly the economy, jobs and public safety.

When asked whether Republicans will rebound in state government next year, Whatley says the decision will hinge on whether voters believe their future senator will support former President Donald Trump and the “America First” agenda. He says he is confident North Carolinians will side with Trump again and emphasizes that he wants to be Trump’s “conservative champion” in the Senate.

Later, Jensen discusses two stories relevant to the Queen City - a rise in apartment construction and rent prices, and a lawsuit in NASCAR involving team owners Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin.
