Rep. Maria Cervania is serving in her first term in the General Assembly after serving her Cary and Morrisville communities on the Wake County Board of Commissioners.  The progressive Democrat talks about growing up in a Republican household with deep military ties and an inspiring and heart-wrenching immigration story from the Philippines.  

Plus, Senate maps stand (for now), no congressional maps lawsuit (for now), no votes this week, a curious Senate poll in Rockingham County, more campaign announcements, an unsubstantiated rumor, #TOTW, and Skye and Brian share their list of lies told.
