Sen. Jim Perry on Life Without a Father & Life as a Father

Sen. Jim Perry has a beautiful family, is a successful businessman, and is a powerful state senator.   However, his childhood is a different story.  

On this Father's Day edition of the podcast, the Lenoir County Republican opens up about growing up without a father, in economic hardship, and how both motivated him to want more in life.  

Sen. Perry also talks about rumors circulating about him in the General Assembly, gives insight into what drives him, and explains how his challenging childhood shapes his conservative politics today.  

Skye and Brian also wrap up another busy week at the General Assembly, including a budget update, an announcement by Speaker Moore about a controversial bill, a staffing announcement, and so much more.
