About this episode

The episode features discussions with Texas Railroad Commissioner nominee Bo French, former Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa, and Corpus Christi Mayor Paulette Guajardo on various political issues in Texas.

In the July 19 episode, GOP nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner Bo French explains why he’s busy discussing issues that seemingly have nothing to do with the agency and the regulations he’d rip up. Former Dallas ISD Superintendent Michael Hinojosa tells us why he announced a run for Dallas Mayor so early, 15 months ahead of that election. And Corpus Christi Mayor Paulette Guajardo on why she thinks the city’s water crisis will cost some council members their jobs in November.
