Rep. John Szoka identifies himself as an "oddball" Republican.

A fourth term member of the North Carolina House from Cumberland County, Szoka is an ally of renewables and solar and has, on occasion, stepped out against powerful Duke Energy.

He talks about that on this edition of the WUNC Politics Podcast, his career in the military, and having his district redrawn for 2020.
