In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," University of Houston political science professor and Party Politics co-host Brandon Rottinghaus joins us on Election Day for the 2026 Primary Election to break down key races and to help us make sense of what comes next.   

Then, we’re joined by Emmett Hopkins, Transportation Policy Manager at the Climate & Community Institute, who discusses the Trump administration’s new transportation proposal, which is looking to scale back federal funding for public transit.

Plus, Morgan Zeringue, Director of Program Services at the Houston-based social service agency Alexander JFS, tells us about what they do, the services they provide to individuals of all faiths and backgrounds, and how they’ve been affected by funding cuts to SNAP.
