Yesterday we read more about local, state, and national government. We learned that there are leaders at each level. At the local level, for us Charlotte, we have Mayor Patsy Kinsey.  At the state level we have a Governor, who lives in our capital in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our Governor is Pat McCrory. At the national level we have House of Representative Members and Senate members that adults from our state voted to represent us. We also have President Obama at the national level.

So, when talking about the Executive Branch of the government we need to think about leaders:

Local- Mayor

State- Governor

National- President, House of Representative Members, Senators.

Today we are going to read more about the other branches of government: Legislative and Judicial.
