Houston Matters

On Wednesday's show: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is officially running against U.S. Sen. John Cornyn next year. Also, Gov. Greg Abbott has called a special election in November for the 18th Congressional District, leaving some Houston residents without a representative in Congress for another seven months. And Fort Bend County Democrats are calling for County Judge KP George to resign after his arrest. We discuss those and other developments in politics in our weekly roundup.Also this hour: We revisit a 2019 conversation with Houston-area pilot Lynn Rippelmeyer, who made history in 1977 as part of the first all-female crew to fly for an airline.And we learn about Flex, a new play about a team of high school girls basketball players in 1997 in rural Arkansas, which is on stage at now at The Ensemble Theatre.
