THE Most Flippable Seat in Texas with Kristian Carranza -...

What this episode covers

From the congressional level to the state legislature, Texas is an extreme case of Republican gerrymandering. We have a few opportunities to chip away at the GOP stranglehold, including State House District 118. This district is anchored in San Antonio and is THE most flippable state house seat in the entire state of Texas. The Democratic nominee here, Kristian Carranza, is one of the most talented and authentic candidates you could ever meet.In this episode of My First Race, I interview Kristian and we discuss her her motivations for running and what set off her interest in politics - former State Senator Wendy Davis' historic 2013 filibuster. Our conversation highlights the challenges of grassroots campaigning, the importance of community engagement, and we even talk about the cultural significance of Texas icon, Selena Quintanilla. Kristian shares her experiences and aspirations for her campaign, emphasizing the need for collective action in the political landscape.You can find Kristian at https://kristianfortexas.com/ and on social media.Be sure to make a contribution to help her flip this seat

Explicit Tales From The Rabbit Hole Mick West Tales from the Rabbit Hole is an interview-style podcast focusing on people whose lives have been affected by the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. Guests will include both former and current believers in a variety of conspiracy theories, as well as debunkers, skeptics, and the investigators of those theories. I’m Mick West, a debunker. I wrote the book Escaping the Rabbit Hole – How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories using Facts, Logic, and Respect. This book came from my experiences running Metabunk – a debunking forum. Over the years I realized simply presenting corrections to people is not enough. We need effective communication, and we can’t do that if we don’t listen to and talk with each other. I’m hoping this podcast will help bridge that gap. Explicit
