Rep. Erin Paré, Former Federal Lobbyist Turned State Legislator

If Rep. Erin Paré makes legislating at the General Assembly look easy it may have something to do with the fact she spent seven years on Capitol Hill as a federal lobbyist.  

The freshman Wake County Republican also talks about her stint as a Washington (Redskins) cheerleader, how it led to meeting her military husband in Iraq, and how she now manages to juggle family, running a small business, and her work as an effective state legislator.  

Brian and Skye also unpack a week at the General Assembly that looks to be winding down, an emergency powers bill, a liquor bill, a budget update, a contempt-of-court threat by a judge, a Sen. Danny Britt sighting, the Tweet-of-the Week, and more.
