Teneshia Hudspeth
It was inspiring speaking to a public servant who believes that government works when good people serve in the government. County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth is the Texas’ current Harris County Clerk. She is running for a second term.
Many Republican politicians talk about the government as bad. They don’t believe that the government, we the people, does good or is immensely necessary. Ironically, for a system they don’t believe in, they always want to run it.
Politicians who do not believe in the government would do well to stay out of it as it is they who make the government less than optimal or effective.
Teneshia Hudspeth is a great example of a person who believes in good government. She is a living example of making government work and bringing it directly to the people. Listen/watch her story and all that she changed as county clerk to make the office more functional for her constituents.
