Happy Hour 149: Women's History Month with Sen. Judith Zaffirini and Rep. Senfronia Thompson


Listen Later

As we continue observing Women's History Month this March, it may come as a surprise - and considering over-arching political circumstances in Texas, perhaps ironic - that the senior members of BOTH the Texas Senate and the Texas House of Representatives are women. We are honored to be joined by State Representative Senfronia Thompson - known to her colleagues, constituents and fans as "Ms. T" - and Senator Judith Zaffirini, a trailblazer both for women and Hispanic Texans, for a deep dive into their experiences as actual participants in women's history in Texas. Have a look at the good old boys' club they've had to confront (and dominate) as women have taken their rightful place in the leadership of the Texas Democratic delegation - much experience and wisdom to be gained in this terrific conversation.
