Episode description

Republicans now hold veto-proof supermajorities in the North Carolina House and Senate. Where does that leave the Democrats elected to serve Asheville and other blue communities? In the first of a two-part conversation, NC Sen. Julie Mayfield and Rep. Lindsey Prather talk with host Matt Peiken about how they define and carry out their work in Raleigh at a time when they can’t hope to pass legislation coming from their own desks. They also about building relationships behind the scenes, the battle lines they’re drawing as members of the minority party and their strategies on moving the ball downfield when democracy itself is under threat.
