Description

In this Meet the Freshmen episode, Skye and Brian sit down with Sen. Dana Jones — a small business owner, former Chair of the Forsyth County School Board, and one of the newest faces in the North Carolina Senate.


The Forsyth County Republican shares why she decided to run for the seat after Sen. Joyce Krawiec announced she wouldn’t seek re-election, and how her experience on the school board prepared her for life in Raleigh. Sen. Jones also talks about the challenges she’s faced outside of politics, including the devastating fire that destroyed her family’s business — and how resilience has been a constant theme in her life.


Plus, John Locke polling, a veto, campaign finance reports, a rumor, #TOTW, Taylor Swift, 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.
