On today’s Hello Houston, we talk with Natalia Contreras, a reporter covering election administration and voting access for Votebeat, who shares her thoughts on why the Trump administration is asking states to turn over their voter rolls.

Then, at the end of the first hour, Houston actress Brenda Palestina joins us to tell us about playing the character Ana in the Alley Theater production Real Women Have Curves.

In the second hour of the show, we’re joined by representatives from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), who discuss the HALT Drunk Driving Law, which aims to equip every new car with anti-drunk driving technology by 2030.

Plus, we also explore the history of one of the largest Black-owned and operated theaters in the nation, The Ensemble Theatre, with artistic director Eileen J. Morris and resident actor Timothy Eric, who also tell us about its significance to the community.

And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton pursuing legal action against a Houston-area anti-fascist group, city officials announcing a new on-demand system for faster trash pickup, and more.
