While his organization spends much of its time crunching election data and assessing North Carolinians’ views on major political issues, Joe Stewart of the N.C. FreeEnterprise Foundation also keeps an eye on the humorous side of politics. He shared some of the funny stories from his days inside and outside government during a presentation today to the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society.

During the question-and-answer period, Stewart returned to the latest election news, including the likely outcomes of this year’s state legislative races.
