Do Politics Better Podcast Rep. Phil Rubin: "I Was a 'West Wing' Kid"
Earlier this session, the General Assembly lost Rep. Joe John to cancer at 85. Rep. John would be proud of his Democratic replacement, who is an attorney, policy wonk, and one to debate the intricacies of the law without making it personal.
Meet the newly appointed freshman legislator from Wake County: Rep. Phil Rubin, who was a federal prosecutor, a Special NC Deputy Attorney General, and a policy director for Meta.
Skye and Brian also talk about an epic week at the General Assembly: Senate Majority Leader Paul Newton resigns, hundreds of Senate bills filed, #TOTW, and more.
The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the NC Beer & Wine Wholesalers Association, the NC Pork Council, and the NC Healthcare Association.
