Anyone who knows me knows I would rather gouge my eyes out with a hot poker than talk about myself & personal history.
But under the expert interviewing skills of @NewFrameInc, I got talky.
Happy Father's Day!

@MarkEzzell @NC_GHSP shares the remarkable story of being adopted from foster care by a state senator with cerebral palsy, living with spina bifida, losing his father in a tragic 1991 car crash, and building a life of service from a wheelchair.
We also discuss how that tragedy opened the door for a young @RoyCooperNC's rise in #ncpol.
Plus, @skydiving11 & I unpack a full week.

PSA — Chowan County is not pronounced CHOW-on County. It’s Show-WAN County.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, #ncpol.

“The question is not whether the law should change,” said Vince Chelena, executive director of the North Carolina Travel Industry Association. “The question is whether local boards should follow the law that exists today.”

I recently joined @NewFrameInc and @skydiving11 on the Do Politics Better podcast for a special Memorial Day episode. As a combat veteran, this holiday carries deep personal meaning. We had an honest conversation about what the day represents, the unique struggles veterans face when transitioning back to civilian life, and the concrete actions we can take to truly support them. #ncpol #ncga

Some survivors choose the campus disciplinary process for the benefit of confidentiality. When and if they share should be their choice, not a news organization’s. #ncpol
Important story from my colleague @koriedean on #SB990. Proponents want to protect identities of college campus assault victims Some critics worry it could shield perpetrators and universities from scrutiny. Bill will likely wind up in the budget. #ncpol

For Rep Allen @gachesser, #MemorialDay is not only about the start of summer. It's about reflection of those who served with him in combat, and the war they continue to fight decades after service.
Plus @skydiving11 & I talk #ncpol: new revenue forecast, constitutional amendments, and the politics of hugs and kisses.
