This week, we look at the impact of women in North Carolina politics. Host Donna Martinez talks with Meredith College Professor David McLennan about his latest research. McLennan discusses his view that women must be heavily recruited and he talks about the many role models in our state for women interested in running. The professor’s research has found that when women make the decision to run, they have a very good chance of winning the seat. That’s followed by a conversation about 2016 presidential politics with former White House political director Jonathan Felts. Martinez and Felts discuss both the Republican and Democratic fields and the tough road that is the primary process.
