Special thanks to the local VFW 856 and the Travis County Democratic Party for throwing the very cool Icecream Social and allowing us to record and conduct a few great interviews.The LiT Crew sits down and shares a beer with AG candidate Justin Nelson to hear what a qualified candidate for Attorney General of Texas sounds like. We talk ending corruption, the DACA lawsuit and why Ken Paxton is indicted in the first place. We interview Austin Mayor Pro-Tem Kathy Tovo about the city's prominent role in the fight against President Trump's agenda and not sacrificing our values in the face of a hostile legislature. And for Austinites, we didn't shy away from asking the CodeNext question.
We also interview Travis County Democratic Party Chair-Elect Dyana Limon Marcado. She won a tight race to become the first ever Latinx chair of TCDP. She also happens to have a day job of leading Planned Parenthood Texas Votes and their campaign to keep women's health programs in Texas amid new defunding and gag efforts by the Trump Administration.Unfortunately, we also had to talk about the Santa Fe High School shooting and the embarrassing response by Texas statewide elected officials. This, of course, is a developing story and we'll likely continue the discussion in our post-primary runoff episode. As always, thanks for listening! Oh and PS - look for us on Sticher soon :)
