Sen. Don Davis on Legislating from the Center: ’I’m Getting it from the Left, I’m Getting it from the Right’

Senator Don Davis is known for working across the political aisle at the General Assembly which, as he explains, is not easy in these polarizing times.  

The eastern North Carolina Democrat also shares his story of being raised by his grandmother as his teenage mother defied the odds by continuing her education and was eventually reunited with her son.  A young Don Davis would go on to enter the Air Force Academy and later launch a successful political career at age 29.  

Brian and Skye also break down a General Assembly week that includes criminal justice reform legislation, medicinal marijuana, sports wagering, a budget status update, redistricting, the Tweet of the Week, and so much more.
