How Worried Should Houstonians Be About the 18th Congressional District’s Future?
What is going on in Houston’s historic 18th congressional district? It’s been targeted by state leaders since Representative Sylvester Turner died earlier this year, which has caused it to go without representation for nearly eight months. And now with the special election to fill the vacant seat just weeks away, the future of the district is about to change because of redistricting court battles. Host Raheel Ramzanali is talking to Tannistha Sinha, political reporter at The Defender, about why the future of the historic 18th congressional district should matter to every Houstonian.
Stories we talked about on today’s show:
Potential primary challenge next year by U.S. Rep. Al Green looms over November’s special election in TX-18
