This week Scott traveled to the heart of Houston for a conversation with State Representative Gene Wu, representing House District 137. Like Scott, Rep. Wu is a fellow LBJ School alum, so Scott enjoyed catching up with him and hearing about his work during the session, concerns shared by Harris County residents and some thoughts on economic justice and how bills impacted his district.
Rep. Wu will also be one of the keynote speakers for the Houston Faith Votes kickoff series on August 20th at Congregation Beth Israel—be sure you invite your Houston-area friends to check out houstonfaithvotes.org. We have a great lineup of local elected officials; faith leaders; and breakout sessions talking about how Texans of faith can encourage their communities to participate in upcoming elections. We hope to see you and your Houston-area friends there.
We are excited to be airing this conversation as a video podcast—that means you can listen, or you can watch the episode on YouTube. Be sure you are subscribed to Texas Impact’s YouTube Channel to take advantage of this feature and to access all Texas Impact’s videos.
