#NCPOL Operative Nathan Babcock: 'I Went from Missionary to Mercenary'

Nathan Babcock plays two crucial roles in #ncpol.  Half of his work is inside the General Assembly working as a policy advisor to Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger.  During campaign season he's a Republican political consultant who takes lead on some of the most high profile, battleground districts.  

Nathan talks about his two jobs, including some behind-the-scenes accounts of the abortion bill and Medicaid expansion, both enacted in 2023. He also takes listeners back to his first campaign in 2010, one of the most transformational times in #ncpol.  

Skye and Brian also unpack the first day of short session, Governor's budget, new polling, ACC politics, #TOTW, and breaking down Taylor Swift's new albums.  

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.
