Rep. Jimmy Dixon makes his third podcast appearance (his last one was 2023) to reflect on Easter and his Mormon faith, which includes membership and local leadership roles in the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  

The 8-term Duplin County Republican opens up about his conversion to LDS in 1976, the differences from the Methodist church he grew up in, and what Easter means to him.  

Skye and Brian break down details and drama as the Senate budget was unveiled, debated, and approved with twists and turns.  Meanwhile the House debate gets hot in the absence of Speaker Hall as he and his wife welcome a son. And we get somber news from Rep. Mike Clampitt.  

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.
