A state Representative first and foremost must REPRESENT, and that’s not a partisan issue. I had the honor of speaking with @mikefor35 about his upbringing, his goals in the General Assembly and where the state is headed next. The full interview will be published this weekend - this is a sneak peek. #ncpol

Democratic state House candidate @hopkinsforhouse, a divorce lawyer, says she personally accessed Flock camera data to catch cheating spouses. That's a pretty shocking statement. Is it true? I examine the claim: longleafpol.com/p/evonne-hop… #ncpol

In the call, Silver also acknowledged to @PatMcCroryNC that other states would not meet the "litmus test" the NBA was putting on North Carolina. Listen:

Think the @WNBA is hypocritical? The @NBA has had the same issues. My book The Change Agent has never-before-reported details about how Adam Silver spoke in private with @PatMcCroryNC about HB2 and the All-Star Game ... and then what happened in public.

New @longleafpol (🔒) article: A new audit report shows that Columbus County lost 7.5% of its tax base in two years. The scary part is how it happened. longleafpol.com/p/fragile-ma… #ncpol

North Carolina appears to have become the first state to expressly welcome prediction market gambling while giving up virtually all state authority to oversee it. #ncpol

Ranking the proposed N.C. constitutional amendments. Two I love, and one's just fine. No. 4, I'm on the fence about, and the last one's a bad idea. longleafpol.com/p/ranking-pr… #ncpol

The @acquanon team took a look at a Spruce Pine business for sale. Every small North Carolina town could benefit from asking the same questions. longleafpol.com/p/what-an-in… #ncpol
