After 12 years in the North Carolina General Assembly, former NC Senator Graig Meyer sits down with The Hometown Holler to share why he’s stepping away and what’s actually happening inside NC politics.He talks about the “internal politics and pettiness” that pushed him to leave, what it’s like working inside a superminority, and why so many good ideas never see the light of day.
From the lack of transparency, to the reality of how power actually moves in Raleigh, Graig pulls back the curtain in a way you don’t usually hear.We also get into corruption, why lawmakers stay quiet, what it takes to get real legislation passed (like Medicaid expansion), and why Graig believes the next chapter of his work, outside elected office, might have an even bigger impact on people’s lives. This is what we do at The Holler - real conversations, plain language, and a porch big enough for all of North Carolina.
