First in Future: Where Emerging Ideas Take Flight show

Summary: A recent survey showed that only a third of millennials consider public service an appropriate career track. The hours are unpredictable and that makes it hard to do the state's work, so maybe that is why so few of our elected officials in North Carolina are young. So a group of younger legislators are trying to change that by forming the NC Future Caucus. Our guest today are two of their members, Sen Jay Chaudhuri, a youngish Democrat from Wake County and Robeson County Republican, Danny Earl Britt. We learn about what value a caucus of young people brings to our state, and how it might represent part of the solution in getting beyond some of our bitter partisan divides.
