Luke Farley is new to politics.  Yet, the Onslow County native surprised the NC political world when he won a heated Republican primary race for Labor Commissioner against a candidate with more name recognition and high profile endorsements from around the state.  

Luke discusses the primary campaign and the general election, including his experience as a labor attorney, and why he feels he's uniquely qualified to protect North Carolina workers.  

Skye and Brian also talk about Beth Wood's endorsement of a Republican in the race for her old job, an election complaint, state employee endorsements, new polls, TOTW, and more.
