Harris County residents are coping with evacuations, road closures, and shelter in place orders today after a pipeline fire exploded in La Porte. The local ABC news affiliate is reporting nearby homes catching fire. The Democratic (and Progress Texas endorsed) candidate running to serve La Porte and unseat election denier and MAGA incumbent Briscoe Cain, is Chuck Crews, a petro-chemical engineer. Chuck spoke with Advocacy Manager Reagan Stone after seeing what looks like a fire tornado with a near 100-foot plume about why these events can’t be normalized and what climate voters and everyday Texans can do to ensure existing protections aren’t rolled back in the next Texas Legislative session.
