On this week's episode, Texas Senator Judith Zaffirini joins the program to discuss her trailblazing career in public service. On January 1, 2024, Senator Zaffirini became the Dean of the Senate, a title reserved for the longest-serving member—she is the first woman Dean in the Texas Senate's history. In the interview, Zaffirini discusses her career, why she feels bittersweet about breaking glass ceilings, and her thoughts on last year's 88th Texas Legislature.
