House Minority Leader and District 54 Rep. Robert Reives is joined by Randy Voller and 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell for the latest edition of “Robert’s Rules.” He shares some takeaways and thoughts from last week’s local election cycle across the country and begins to preview important context around the 2024 North Carolina races. Voller and Reives discuss effects of extreme partisan gerrymandering and what it means for both candidate quality and accountability. Plus, Reives explains why the state is unlikely to hold any constitutional amendments on hot topics like Ohio.
