from Pretty Prissy Chronicles · host Elisabeth Anumele
On this cold Houston Monday, Pretty Prissy Chronicles dives into one of the most consequential local elections in recent history — the special runoff for Texas’ Congressional District 18.

In this episode, host Elisabeth Anumele breaks down the history of District 18, the unprecedented vacancy, and what’s truly at stake for the communities it represents. This episode takes a deep, balanced look at the two runoff candidates — Christian Menefee and Amanda Edwards — examining their backgrounds, leadership styles, priorities, and visions for restoring a voice to a district that has waited far too long to be heard.
