Brandon, Again!
Marcus Brandon
stood out as a freshman Democrat in the NC House and deserves a second term. Marcus Brandon didn’t go to Raleigh last year and disappear. He could have. As a Democrat newly elected to his first term in the state House of Representatives, he found himself at the bottom of the pecking order: a freshman member of the party suddenly cast out of power. He was also young and entering his first public office at any level of government. But Brandon, 37, didn’t fade into the woodwork. He stood out for his energy, creativity and, sometimes, for crossing party lines to get results.
Jones who Brandon outsted two years ago by a wide margin is fiercely critical of Brandon’s performance, but his attacks are unfounded, ill-informed or hypocritical.
Rep. Brandon promotes 2nd Chance laws and Population
Rep. Brandon speaks with FOX 8 Nicole Furgeson about New Law effecting NC ex- offendors and ex-felons. "I recognize this bill does not help everyone, but there are two goals we need to meet. First we need to get info out there for those that it can help, the second and the most important thing is to let this poplulation know the importance of telling their story and how it can impact change. I need for ex-felons to stick their chest out, and let people know 'I am not just an ex-felon, I am aslo a mother, father, and most importantly a child of God"
