How will the November 2018 election pan out? Will the Democratic Party help reinstitute faith in our system? How does our democracy look from afar? How can Progressives retake the country? Will the Democratic Party do its part?
Today we have three distinguished guests that will explore these issues.
Sanjanetta Barnes is the Texas Democratic Party’s Southeast Texas Regional Political Director.
Jaime Rodriguez is a consultant in both the private and public sectors. who uses his analytical skills to help organize information quickly. Using his marketing and communications skills, he has been in charge of groups of hundreds of volunteers and has run corporate retreats, large events, and organization staff and budgets.
Gerry van Bakel is a former KPFT host and news anchor via the Netherlands. Gerry used her skills to ensure we had a more informed Houston. We are honored to have her back if even for a few days after she completed the arduous MS150 Bike Ride from Houston to Austin on her way back to the Netherlands later this week.
