Bev Perdue is the only woman in North Carolina history to be elected as lieutenant governor (2001-2009) and governor (2009-2013).

On this week’s episode of Tying It Together With Tim Boyum, Perdue talks with Tim and Ben about her humble beginnings growing up as a coal miner’s daughter in Virginia and her rise to the top of North Carolina state politics.

The Tar Heel state’s former governor also gets candid about the sexism she faced along the way, her controversial comments about suspending elections in 2011, and her regret of not running for re-election.
