Entitled "Local Leader Climbs in Poll", the April 10th issue of the Richmond County Daily Journal says, in part:

Rep. Melanie Wade Goodwin (D-Hamlet) made the biggest leap in effectiveness out of all of the members of the North Carolina House of Representatives, based on a poll released this month.

The North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research Inc. showed Goodwin
vaulted from 73rd in 2005 to 31st this year — a difference of 42 places. The
only lawmaker to come close was Rep. Grier Martin (D-Wake) who went up 38 spots.
