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. I am Anthony Sosa and today I am here with Christopher Rose to discuss the results of early voting, the FWISD Bond election and shenanigans with the finance advisor for the bonds, Matt Krause and his book hunt, update on the SCOTUS hearing the Heartbeat Bill and the law banning trans youth from playing certain sports.


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