The legislative session in Raleigh is approaching its end, but that doesn’t mean the work of lawmakers is slowing down.
Over four months after the State Senate passed the Parent’s Bill of Rights piece of legislation, the House has taken it up.

Now she works for Red, Wine and Blue — a political organizing group aimed at suburban women.
