Welcome to Chatter with BNC, Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people.

On today's episode, Colin Campbell talks with N.C. Rep. Ashton Clemmons, a Democrat from Greensboro who's developed a reputation for working across the partisan divide to get legislation enacted. She talks about her work in the legislature, professional background in education, and why the business community should help address the state's early childhood education needs.
