Listen in on The Horse Race podcast, Episode 22: Special Edition, with North Carolina Rep. Grier Martin.
In November, North Carolina voted to remove incumbent Republican Governor Pat McRory, and replace him with Democrat Roy Cooper. In December, Republicans in the North Carolina legislature pushed through a series of laws designed to strip the incoming governor of power before he took office.
Horse Race cohosts Mike Connolly and Brendan McKinnon sat down with state Rep. Grier Martin (D, NC-34) for a special bonus episode to discuss North Carolina politics, public service, and what it all means moving forward. Rep. Martin is an Army veteran and has served in Afghanistan, and had tremendous insights into local politics and how parties and elected officials can repair the damage of toxic partisanship.
