Episode 25: Millennial Mayor 

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review.

We are a show about local politics that aims to get more people engaged in local issues.Today I am here with Amber Sosa & Christopher Rose to discuss Mattie Parker, Betsy Price, Deborah Peoples and our new city council. We begin with an impromptu conversation about the complex and byzantine process of changing one's name, (0:45 - 7:00) then we get into Betsy running for County Judge and Mattie Parker’s swearing in. 

All of the resources used will be provided below in the show notes.

This podcast is made possible by The Justice Reform League, a Fort Worth based non-profit. You can sign up for our newsletter and get updates on FW political news and deep dives into local issues at our website www.justicereformleague.org

Feel free to contact us if you have any episode ideas or additional information on any of the candidates on Twitter at @FWReview and at [email protected] .
