EP 611: TX House Democratic Minority Leader Gene Wu On Fighting For Our Democracy In a Huge Red State

Texas House Democratic Leader Gene Wu joins me this week on the podcast to lay out what’s at stake for democracy, the Constitution, and state governance in Texas. Representing Southwest Houston (District 137), Rep. Wu breaks down why local legislative races matter nationally, how AANHPI and Chinese American voters can tip the scales, and why protecting democratic institutions starts at the ballot box.

Bonus: In the Intro, Ken shares the results of a mid-20th century research project that revealed why it’s next to impossible to get fervent followers of a belief system to change the way they interpret reality.
