Cross Roads Podcast News with Steven and Mady - Comparing the Candidates for U.S. Senate

Send us Fan MailTexas politics gets loud fast, but your ballot still comes down to a few concrete questions: what should government do, what should it stop doing, and who do you trust to defend your rights while handling the basics like safety, schools, and the economy. We take on the Texas U.S. Senate race by putting Ken Paxton and James Talarico side by side, then walking through the real-world issues Texans feel every week, not just the talking points.We look at border security and immigration enforcement, inflation and affordability, taxes and government spending, and what each candidate signals about the role of regulation in economic growth. We also dig into public education and why parent involvement keeps coming up, plus the energy fight that touches oil and gas, renewables, electric vehicles, and grid reliability. If you’ve ever wondered how energy policy connects to everyday risk during a power outage, we spell out why that concern is shaping voter attitudes.Then we shift from policy to process: how to watch debates like a serious evaluator, what to listen for when candidates answer the same question, and why public records matter more than campaign mailers. We also touch constitutional interpretation, free speech, the Second Amendment, public safety, and health care, because these issues are not abstract in Texas, they show up in laws that hit families directly.If you care about making an informed vote, hit play, share this with one voter who’s on the fence, and then tell us what issue is driving your decision.
