Next month we are hosting Andrew Dunn, who is a journalist-turned-political strategist who lives in Charlotte. He uses his blog Longleaf Politics to weigh in on the big issues in North Carolina government and politics. The goal is to help thoughtful conservatives win elections, influence policy, and lead with purpose.  He spent a decade as a traditional journalist, reporting for The Charlotte Observer as well as the StarNews in Wilmington, and serving as editor-in-chief of Charlotte Agenda for a decade.  Dunn served as the communication director for Dan Forest in his run for Governor of North Carolina.  Growing up in Apex, and graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill, Dunn is now a husband and a father of four.  He's active in his church, and a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America.
