“You cede control of your life trajectory. It can be quite surreal.” My latest for @TheAssemblyNC is a kaleidoscopic trip through the sometimes perilous world of political plus-ones.

“This ad reaches so hard for the iconic, the only thing missing is a shot of the candidate & Paul Bunyon swigging beers as their feet dangle over Mt. Rushmore.”
Which upstart candidate’s ad are we talking about?? Check Capital Tonight at 7 & 12! W/ @NewFrameInc & @TimBoyumTV
Having lost a cousin to a distracted driver, I relished the opportunity to work with @FarrinLaw on this op-ed calling for lawmakers, courts and the private sector to get serious about stopping the senseless death and destruction. #NCGA #NCPOL

Hungry kids can't learn. Here's what the mini-budget does and doesn't do to end hunger in our classrooms. If we don't want federal cuts to eat our lunch, we have to keep acting in our kids' interests. #NCPOL #NCGA @SchoolMeals4NC: wunc.org/education/2025-08-1…
How does a candidate who's never run for public office compete w/ one who has -- many times -- and never lost? @TimBoyumTV, @NewFrameInc and I speculate on the playbooks for the 2026 NC Senate race on Capital Tonight at 7 & midnight. WARNING: Things could get muddy! #ncpol #ncga
Lightning seems to have once again struck the gym over night, somehow resetting all the televisions to HGTV or reruns of "Charmed."
My long strange trip from rock critic to political consultant involved sprouting, as the jazz cats say, big ears. Listening hard and learning to harmonize. Thanks to @CarolinaJournal for allowing me to jam a little on the idea! ... #NCPOL ... #NCGA ...

Whoa – somebody’s aiming for a MAJOR roll in the hay this Fourth of July weekend! #AfternoonDelight #FireworksOfAllKinds #July4th
Hungry students are "more likely to struggle w/ higher absenteeism & lower academic performance. I’m so grateful to Rep. @DonnyLambeth for sponsoring HB 774, the Breakfast Bill.” A compelling op-ed supporting a strong #NC workforce:

My latest for @TheAssemblyNC dashes from the backwoods of Hyde Co. to the club room at Mar-a-Lago. The cast includes a black bear, #DonJr and #POTUS himself. All as a homegrown #NC #MAGA star and big game hunter takes his shot at DC. #ncpol #ncga

What's better than starting the day w/ Wheaties? An op-ed in @nsjnews on how the School Breakfast Bill will ensure a strong future workforce. A big thanks to the ec dev-minded sponsors of HB774 & to @SchoolMeals4NC. #ncpol #ncga

I cozied up to this skyline of #NC giants an inspiring fundraiser for the Cooper Charitable Foundation and its goal of ending housing insecurity. A most worthy cause w/ most distinguished – & joyful – supporters. #philanthropy #Homelessness @RLF
Got my hardhat & shades on for a sneak peek at #GipsonPlayPlaza, shaping up sensationally at @DixPark. The hard hat because it’s still a construction zone. The shades because the future’s so bright! ...
W/ client @dixconservancy in #Raleigh. #urbandesign #parks
When you’re in Nashville keeping an eye out for Dolly, Zach and Garth, only to end up pumping iron in the hotel gym next to @DefLeppard's Phil Collen. Later, we talked pecs and “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by the pool. #HairMetalMates
Exactly what about @NC_Governor's State of the State speech or Speaker Hall's response has got @TimBoyumTV SO fired up? Find out on @NCCapTonight at 7 and midnight! #NCGA @NCPOL
“If we want our kids to succeed, we’ve got to ensure they are fed," says @NC_Governor to cheers at the NC Child Hunger Leaders Conference. My client, @SchoolMeals4NC, agrees! Our supporters come from all camps, so PM me & join us. Because hungry kids can't learn. #ncpol #ncga
Happy spazzy new year! May you rock-bop 2025 like Jerry Lewis tearin' it up with the legendary Plaid Zeppelin!
Looking for a good time? I’ll be on @siriusxmpotus at 5:45 talking about the hidden NC club that for 40 yrs has defied America’s “epidemic of loneliness.” But can they keep it up?? Read it at @TheAssemblyNC, then tune in:
