The Left’s Fault Lines Get Exposed During Houston's Mayoral Race | Sam Russek | TMR

Emma talks to Sam Russek, reporter and researcher at The New Republic, to discuss his recent piece on the upcoming Houston mayoral race.

Sam Russek steps back as he analyzes the history of Houston’s mayoral race, first tackling who the “Left” candidates are, and why none of them genuinely represent the progressive wing of the party. Wrapping up, Russek looks to the role of labor (and the Fire Department’s union in particular) in exposing truths of John Whitmer and Sylvester Turner’s respective ideologies, both for better and worse, and dives into the failures of the Texas democratic parties and Houston’s democratic leadership.
