On this week's episode, we have a spirited debate over the words liberal and conservative.  What does it mean to be liberal or conservative? Do those terms automatically connect to Democrat and Republican?  This debate started during a recent TV segment between Charlotte City Councilman Tariq Bokhari and former mayor pro tem Braxton Winston, who also ran for Labor Commissioner this year. Sit back with your new presents, a cup of coffee, and see how you fit — or don't — into these widely used terms.

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking with Braxton Winston, former Charlotte City Council member, who is currently running NC Labor Commissioner. They discuss the aftermath in Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene, Winston takes this opportunity to remind everyone listening that this will be a long road to rebuild these areas. Continued support for WNC is crucial to our fellow Carolinians that were most impacted by this historic storm. In the second segment, Brett shares an interview with David Willis, North Carolina representative for District 68 in Union County.   Later, Brett interviews Grammy-Award-winning Graham Sharp, a lead singer and banjo player in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame band, Steep Canyon Rangers. The North Carolina bluegrass band is putting on a benefit concert for Western North Carolina on Thursday, November 7, in Greensboro.  Brett wraps up tonight's show with soon to be elected US Congressman, Mark Harris, who will represent District 8 in North Carolina.  Listen here for all of this and more on Breaking With Brett Jensen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A fatal 2016 police shooting in Charlotte thrusted Braxton Winston onto the political/advocacy scene and eventually led him to make a successful bid for the Charlotte City Council a year later.   Now, the Onslow County native is running statewide for Labor Commissioner as a Democrat.  Braxton discusses the race and why he feels his experience as a Union member makes him uniquely qualified to protect North Carolina workers.   Plus, Skye and Brian preview a weeklong legislative session next week, a bombshell story from The Assembly, POTUS politics, a resignation, #TOTW, faking fall, 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.

Driving instructor shortage; Braxton Winston on why he's running for state Labor Commissioner

Former Charlotte City Council at-large rep and Mayor Pro-Tem Braxton Winston discusses his journey from activism to local politics and his current campaign to become North Carolina's next Commissioner of Labor.

Tune in here to this ​Tuesday edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by talking with Daniel Redford, the President of the Charlotte chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police, about calling out Charlotte City Councilman Braxton Winston on Facebook for his posts about last Monday's shooting. President Redford claims his comments are hollow and only for personal gain in hopes of aiding Councilman Winston's campaign for the North Carolina Secretary of Labor.  In the past Councilman Winston never supported CMPD, repeatedly voting against aid to CMPD from more money to equipment and more according to Redford.  During such hard times for Charlotte and CMPD it is shocking for a political figure to virtue signal by claiming support for CMPD when behind closed doors the support is severely lacking.

As candidate for Commissioner of Labor, Braxton Winston gives North Carolina voters a lot to like. His diverse background includes experience as a union stagehand, sports TV grip for the Charlotte Hornets, and mayor pro tem of North Carolina's largest city. In his first conversation with the Holler, Braxton reflects on his bones-deep commitment to public service, the importance of good labor policy, and his vision to make North Carolina the best state in the Union for workers AND businesses. Most importantly, he also takes a moment to explain just what exactly the Commissioner of Labor does.

Having solved all the problems in the Queen City, Charlotte City Councilman Braxton Winston is now running for North Carolina Labor Commissioner. But his comments touting NC's "right to work" laws as a key to his success might very well tank the Democrat's chances in his primary.  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Flashpoint, WCNC Charlotte's Ben Thompson sits down with Congressman Jeff Jackson, where Jackson admits his opinion on the recent Chinese spy balloon shifted after speaking to members of the U.S. military. "I started in a place of skepticism about the timeline for their decision-making and ended in a place of confidence that they handle this in the best possible way," Jackson said on WCNC's Flashpoint.   Later, Ben talks to Charlotte Mayor Pro Tem Braxton Winston and his push for Charlotte's stalled $13.5B transportation plan.

Councilman Tariq Bokhari and Larken Egleston bring back the pod after an 8 month hiatus, and are joined by special guest Mayor Pro Tem Braxton Winston The post Ep 116 – 8 Month Recap, Election, Swearing In, Capitol Tonight Correspondants, AllStar Race – w/ Special Guest MPT Braxton Winston appeared first on PFM Hero.

In a break with tradition, the Charlotte City Council rejected the top votainer and named the second-place finisher as the next Mayor Pro Tem. And, yes, votainer is a word I have invented and am promoting to replace the awkwardly cumbersome "top vote-getter." For almost three decades the Charlotte City Council has named the top votainer in the At-Large election to the post of Mayor Pro Tem - except on two occasions. But last night the Democrats passed over the top votainer, Dimple Ajmera, to name Braxton Winston as the Mayor Pro Tem. Why? Nobody will really say. Also, Councilman James "Smuggie" Mitchell was sworn-in despite questions about whether his presence on the Council is illegal. Mitchell says he owns 25% of a local construction firm named RJ Leeper. As a minority-owned business, the company gets City contracts worth millions of dollars. State law seems to prevent Mitchell from being on the body that awards those contracts. Mitchell refused to address the matter with reporters after the swearing-in ceremony.  Get exclusive content here!: https://thepetekalinershow.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Wednesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show we catch back up with WBT host and reporter Brett Jensen to talk about a major surprise last night at the Charlotte City Council swearing in event.  In breaking with the normal tradition, top vote-getter Dimple Ajmera declined her nomination for Mayor Pro Tem, with Braxton Winston earning the title with an 11-0 vote. Brett and Brett talks about what this means for the city and Jensen shares why he has to give Ajmera credit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Flashpoint, WCNC Charlotte's Ben Thompson talks with Charlotte city councilman, Braxton Winston about running again for an at-large seat. "We have really taken that hands-off approach. And I think that's been fatal in this process," Winston, councilman at-large, said. Winston co-chairs the city's intergovernmental committee and is running for re-election. He said the city has lost substantial time in engaging in regional, state, and business stakeholders. Next, Ben talks with Republican Charlotte City Council at-large candidate, Carrie Olinski about why she's running. Olinksi said public safety is her number one priority, but said all the issues facing city leaders are connected. "We have transportation and housing and jobs, all of them are intertwined," Olinski said. All of this and more on Sunday at 11 a.m. on Flashpoint, only on WCNC Charlotte.

In a politically-polarized era, is it possible for two politicians on opposite sides of the fence to have a friendly disagreement? We put that question to the test by inviting two Charlotte City Council members to have a discussion with the officers of the nonpartisan SPAM (Students for the Political Advancement of Mankind) club. Hear from Democrat Braxton Winston, an at-large member and PD parent, and Republican Tariq Bokhari, whose District 6 includes the campus of Providence Day, in a discussion with students moderated by host Jay Barron. There was so much to discuss, it took up TWO episodes! In Part 1, the student questions tackle COVID-19 pandemic response, health care, and election security.

This month on the Rail~Volution podcast, Mesa Arizona City Council Member Francisco Heredia and Charlotte City Council Member Braxton Winston talk with each other about their journeys from being an advocate to elected officials.  They talk about the challenges and opportunities their cities have related to transportation and development of the city.

As protests against racial injustice continue across America, there are louder calls to "defund the police." On this episode, Ben Thompson is joined by Charlotte City Councilman Braxton Winston to discuss the semantics and meaning behind defunding the police. Winston shares his thoughts on the movement, how police tactics should be changed and if defunding police is really "reform." Winston also explains why people in the Charlotte community who have been impacted by violent crime need to lend their credibility to those calling for change.    Ben is also joined by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police spokesman Rob Tufano to discuss how Charlotte's law enforcement division will fight violent crime in the future. Tufano also pleads for the community to join officers in helping stop violent crime in their neighborhoods as Charlotte is on pace for more homicides than 2019's tragic mark.

Welcome to the Creative Mornings Charlotte podcast. Today’s show features hosts Tim Miner and Matt Olin speaking with Charlotte City Council members Larken Egleston, Dimple Ajmera and Braxton Winston immediately following the February 1 Creative Mornings Charlotte event at LakePointe Corporate Center, where Larken, Dimple, Braxton and Tariq Scott Bokhari (who could not join us on the podcast) spoke about the global theme of “Symmetry.” Despite each of them being in their first term as Charlotte City Council members, Larken, Dimple and Braxton have come together to form a newer and younger iteration of the city’s most powerful governing body. The diversity of of backgrounds is also apparent: Larken represents a distribution company and has served on many local boards; Dimple is not only an accomplished financial professional, but also an immigrant, the first Asian-American, and youngest woman to ever serve on council; and Braxton rode a wave of momentum from his political activism shown during the Keith Lamont Scott protests in 2016 to an at-large seat on the council the next year. In this episode of the Creative Mornings Charlotte podcast, Larken, Dimple and Braxton talk about the most important issues facing the city, what made them want to run for city council, and try to guess what Charlotte newspaper headlines from 1919 are real. Register for the next Creative Mornings Charlotte event Friday, March 8 at 8:30 a.m. at NoDa Brewing Company. The featured speaker will be local artist Jessica Moss and her father, speaking about the global theme of “Water”.  RSVPs will open at 9 a.m., Monday, March 4.
