Senators Benton Sawrey and Mary Wills Bode were guests on the podcast in the weeks following the 2022 election.  They return to the podcast this week to talk about their freshman terms, the ups and downs, and their perspectives on crossover week when they were on opposing sides of the abortion debate. 

Skye and Brian also cover Sen. Bill Rabon's committee testimony about his cancer journey and use of medical marijuana, sports gambling's winning hand, Governor's ad buy, budget update, tragedy in NC politics, a new GOP candidate for Lt. Governor, rumors, #TOTW, and more. 

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, and the NC Pork Council.
