Sen. Steve Jarvis is a builder by trade and is recognized as a legislative leader on homebuilding and construction issues.  However, he is also just as passionate about improving foster care and the adoption process in North Carolina.  

The Davidson County Republican talks about his life and family, a nearly tragic construction accident that still negatively affects him today, and he explains how a nice guy can succeed in North Carolina politics.  

Skye and Brian unpack a full week of news, including a confounding NC Supreme Court decision, Attorney General Josh Stein strikes back, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson pens a book, GOP leaders disagree on abortion policy, and more.  

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