Rep. Sarah Crawford stops by the podcast for a second visit and discusses serving two terms in the House after a biennium in the Senate. Click here to listen to her first visit in 2022.

The Wake County Democrat also talks about her relationships with her Republican colleagues and how those friendships here get a law enforcement bill through the North Carolina House, navigating difficult conversations, and earning support from members on both sides of the aisle.

Crawford also reflects candidly on the political realities of bipartisan work. While reaching across the aisle can produce real results for constituents, she acknowledges that it isn't always celebrated within her own party.

Plus, Skye and Brian unpack the week of political news, including next week's session, fundraising, short session numbers, and more.

The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the American Heart Association, the NC Pork Council, the NC Realtors, Heal the System NC, and the NC Healthcare Association.
