FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Washington State Senator Drew MacEwen (R) who says there is a balancing act in meeting the needs and interests of rural areas in a state and its cities, and he also shares plenty of reasons to visit his beautiful state.

Long before he was elected to the Senate, young Buck Newton from Wilson walked the halls of the Legislative Building as a House Page in the 1980s—an experience that not only sparked his interest in politics but also led to meeting his future wife. Sen. Newton reflects on his early exposure to public service, his return to Raleigh decades later as a successful candidate in 2010, and his role in helping Republicans flip the General Assembly for the first time in over a century. From page to senator to statewide candidate and back again, it's a candid conversation about lessons learned, battles fought, and what keeps him in the game. Plus, Skye and Brian update listeners on budget news and rumors, controversial legislation heading to Gov. Stein, #TOTW, bad breaker-uppers, 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.
