On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by interim Harris County Attorney Jonathan Fombonne in the show’s first hour, who explains how the county maintains election integrity and protects voters’ rights, ahead of Election Day for the 2026 primary election.

Then, we talk with Brittany Hebert, founder of the Houston-based non-profit Sky High for Kids, who tells us about their work funding research and family services to help children with cancer and other life-threatening conditions.

In the second hour, Harris County Commissioner Lesley Briones joins us to discuss the forthcoming “Toro District,” an 83-acre, mixed-use development that will serve as the new home of the Houston Texans' headquarters, as well as its expected economic impact.

Plus, Dr. Tamara J. Cadet, an associate professor in the School of Social Policy & Practice at the University of Pennsylvania, shares her thoughts on how people can prepare for an extended lifespan.

And, as always, Ernie and Celeste talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the mass shooting that took place at an Austin bar on Sunday morning, the cancellation of this year’s Cinco de Mayo parade, and the United States' attack on Iran, which they discuss with NPR Pentagon reporter Tom Bowman.
