This week we traveled to the heart of Houston for a conversation with Texas state representative Gene Wu, representing House District 137. Rep. Wu is a fellow LBJ School alum, so I enjoyed catching up with him and hearing about his work during the session, concerns shared by Harris County residents and some thoughts on economic justice and how bills impacted his district.
Rep. Wu will also be one of the keynote speakers for the Houston Faith Votes kickoff series on August 20th at Congregation Beth Israel, so make sure you invite your Houston-area friends to check that out at houstonfaithvotes.org. We have a great lineup of local elected officials, faith leaders and breakout sessions talking about how Texans of faith can encourage their communities to participate in upcoming elections, so we hope to see you and your Houston-area friends there.
