With so many names on the ballot, it can be hard to keep track of who’s running for what and why it matters. On this episode of Let’s Talk Local , Sarah sits down with two candidates running for Senate, Ken Paxton and Wesley Hunt, to talk through the issues shaping this election and what’s at stake for Texans. (Sen. John Cornyn was invited to join the conversation but did not respond to our request.) Sarah asks the questions voters care about most: their priorities if elected, why this moment matters, and how decisions made now will impact Texas at the federal level. From concerns about national debt to broader questions about culture, security, and the future direction of the country, nothing is off the table. Every election matters, but this one will help determine who speaks for Texans on the national stage. Get informed, hear directly from the candidates, and then make your voice heard on March 3.","meta_description":"Election Day is March 3, and that means it’s time to get informed and get to the polls.
