Amy McConkey grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina with two younger  brothers in a deeply religious household. Father was a small business  man in textiles. She did not have much interest in politics as a child  except for dinner talks during presidential elections. Amy was not sure  which major to pick when she joined UNC Chapel Hill until during her 2nd  semester class in political science. Most of her friends hated it  except Amy. Amy also loved writing and communicating. So she also  applied to School of Journalism as a double major to tap into her  communication skills. She got a taste of local politics when she started  writing at the Daily Tarheel. From that point, after graduation, how  did she get into lobbying? What is her favorite movie? We talk all about  it in this next episode with Amy McConkey.
