Amid all the culture wars and controversies at North Carolina’s legislature, some legislation features Republicans and Democrats quietly working together. There are plenty of examples of bills developed by lawmakers from both parties working together, ultimately leading to unanimous votes with no debate. Rep. Laura Budd, D-Mecklenburg, is one of the few Democrats who's sponsored bills that passed the House this year. She spoke with WUNC's Colin Campbell about how she's developed relationships across the political divide and the legislation she's developed with GOP colleagues. Budd also spoke about her concerns with the House budget bill, and the awkward moments that come from sharing a last name with a prominent U.S. senator.
