And that merits a substantive discussion of the governor's race in which Gina Hinojosa is going right at Abbott on both. Plus: An election denier gets an elections job with Gov. Abbott and Texas House Democrats are coming under increased pressure to dump Speaker Dustin Burrows when he runs for reelection to hold the gavel next year. Our producer is the famous Evan Sherer and the original music for the show is by Checkmayne in Houston.
