On Monday's show: Colin Allred is dropping out of next year’s U.S. Senate race and is running for Congress instead. That is just the latest move ahead of today’s filing deadline, and after Supreme Court approval of the new Texas Congressional maps. We consider what other scrambling we might see today and what it all means for longtime members of Congress from here in Houston and elsewhere in Texas who have hard decisions to make.

Also this hour: We discuss why the Houston metro area is one of a handful in the nation with more traffic deaths last year than homicides and what if anything can be done about it.

Then, Meg Tapp from the Garden Club of Houston answers questions about how to maintain the plants in your home or garden.

And we discuss the latest developments in Houston sports with Jeff Balke.
