On this cold Houston Monday, Pretty Prissy Chronicles dives into one of the most consequential local elections in recent history — the special runoff for Texas’ Congressional District 18.

After months without representation, voters are finally being asked to choose who will step into a seat shaped by giants and marked by loss, legacy, and resilience. In this episode, host Elisabeth Anumele breaks down the history of District 18, the unprecedented vacancy, and what’s truly at stake for the communities it represents.

This episode takes a deep, balanced look at the two runoff candidates — Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards — examining their backgrounds, leadership styles, priorities, and visions for restoring a voice to a district that has waited far too long to be heard. From voting access issues impacted by winter weather to the broader implications of representation, this conversation centers clarity, context, and community. This isn’t about party politics — it’s about power, presence, and the future of District 18.
