Our board has chosen to endorse Austin State Rep. Vikki Goodwin in her run for Texas Lieutenant Governor for many reasons - her years-long commitment to public education, her dedication to reproductive justice, and perhaps most importantly, her near-decade of front-seat experience with the Texas Legislature, which will be important as she takes historic steps to rehabilitate the most powerful office in Austin after over three decades of Republican rule. She's in a runoff against challenger and union organizer Marcos Velez on May 26, just under one month from this podcast's posting.
