Episode 7: 2020 Election Recap for Tarrant Co

Hello Fort Worth and welcome to another episode of the Fort Worth Freedom Review. My name is Anthony Sosa and we have two new voices who will be joining us as we move forward with this show: Thomas Moore and Torry Finley. Thomas is with us on this episode and Torry will be with us at a later date. We are excited to welcome both of these gentlemen to the Freedom Review crew. Also, as usual, we have Amber O’Dell as well as myself and Christie Beamer will be back, joining us at a later date. In this episode we discuss the county election results as well as the results for various offices at the state level. We also briefly cover the US congress and Senate races. We will discuss the biggest winners and losers and we share our analysis of the results and the implications for the future of Texas. Also Thomas regails us with the tale of Shelley Luther. All of the information and resources we used can be found further down in the show notes.  As always, please subscribe and sign up for our newsletter and get updates on FW political news and deep dives into local issues.
