A fatal 2016 police shooting in Charlotte thrusted Braxton Winston onto the political/advocacy scene and eventually led him to make a successful bid for the Charlotte City Council a year later.  

Now, the Onslow County native is running statewide for Labor Commissioner as a Democrat.  Braxton discusses the race and why he feels his experience as a Union member makes him uniquely qualified to protect North Carolina workers.  

Plus, Skye and Brian preview a weeklong legislative session next week, a bombshell story from The Assembly, POTUS politics, a resignation, #TOTW, faking fall, and more.
