Representative Elmore's Run for Lieutenant Governor

Rep. Jeffrey Elmore is the go-to legislator in the House, maybe even in the General Assembly, on all things K-12 related.  That's because he's spent 23 years as an active teacher in Wilkes County, a job he still holds.  

The 6-term Republican talks to Skye and Brian about how he balances his career with his service in the General Assembly where he has risen to the 'Big Chair' ranks of House budget writers.  They also talk education policy, his art, family, and how teaching keeps him grounded in the needs of public education.  

It's also the week before the crossover deadline, a controversial education bill is on the move, the internal politics of Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson's gubernatorial announcement, Congressman Dan Bishop running for Attorney General (?), #TOTW, and more.
