Congressman Mark Walker: The Intersection of Politics and Religion

On this week's episode of Tying It Together with Tim Boyum, Congressman Mark Walker talks about his decision to run for U.S. Senate in 2022.

We’ll learn about his experiences growing up as the son of a preacher man and how visiting inmates with his father impacted the rest of his life. The congressman also shares stories about his own path to the profession and how it eventually led to politics.

Later, we ask Walker if he was mad at fellow Republicans for making his district nearly impossible to win, and if he really ever seriously considered running against fellow Republican and U.S. Senator Thom Tillis.

You’ll also want to stick around for an in depth conversation about his obsession with the NCAA allowing student-athletes to profit off their likeness.
