Interview Highlights On The Public Hearings The Commission Is Hosting We re affectionately calling these public hearings, it s a listening tour. Before we can draw any of the maps that you mentioned, what we ve done is figured out how to run these and how to be inclusive.

It could, sadly, be someone who voted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, a position backed by literally dozens of Austinites. Even the two very conservative reps from Travis County – Michael McCaul and Chip Roy – thought that was crazy talk. But still, at least 250,000 of us are represented in the People s House by John Carter, Pete Sessions, and Roger Williams, older white gentlemen from beyond our frontiers who chose MAGA insurrection over a peaceful transfer of power.
