Sen. Paul Newton likes to say "good policy makes for good politics".   Learn more about the Republican Senate Finance Chair, his career at Duke Energy, and his life now as a "gentleman farmer" who runs a wedding venue with his wife (and dogs) in Cabarrus County.

Brian and Skye also review a rollercoaster House budget week, what's next in the budget process, and share the latest on the riot bill, the child marriage bill, a gun bill, election redistricting, the Tweet of the Week and more. 

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame and the NC Travel Industry Association.
