Les mer Taco Policy

Each week, host Kat Vargas of Howdy Politics travels to taquerías across the state to sit down with elected officials, organizers, and everyday Texans making change in their communities. Together, they dig into recent news, the fights shaping Texas — from public schools and healthcare to voting rights and government corruption — and what you can do to make a difference. Smart, sharp, and a little spicy, Taco Policy is your seat at the table for the future of Texas.

episode Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder on Affordability, Public Schools, and 2026 cover

Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder on Affordability, Public Schools, and 2026

In this episode, Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder joins Kat Vargas to break down the biggest issues shaping the 2026 elections in Texas — affordability, public schools, vouchers, and the fight to rebuild Democratic power across the state. Chair Scudder lays out why affordability and public education will define Texas politics in 2026, what real grassroots organizing looks like, and how Democrats can boost voter turnout in rural communities, the suburbs, and the Rio Grande Valley. Kat and Chair Scudder also dig into Republican attacks on voting organizations, the statewide slate drama, what a real coordinated campaign should be, and why Texas Democrats must stop chasing the middle and start energizing their base. It’s a candid, grounded look at what it will take to win — and what has to change to get there. This is your seat at the table for the future of Texas. Welcome to Taco Policy.

episode Mihaela Plesa on Winning Texas’ Most Competitive District — and What It’ll Take to Flip the State cover

Mihaela Plesa on Winning Texas’ Most Competitive District — and What It’ll Take to Flip the State

Rep. Mihaela Plesa joins Kat Vargas at Salsa Verde in Plano to talk about what it really takes to win Texas’ most competitive district — and why that fight matters for the future of the state. From knocking 10,000 doors to standing up to Governor Abbott, Plesa shares the grassroots blueprint for how Democrats can flip Collin County (and Texas) blue. They dig into what voters actually care about versus what’s just online chatter, why consultants get it wrong, and how the work on the ground connects to this week’s national headlines — including the demolition of the White House East Wing for Trump’s vanity ballroom. Plesa also opens up about her family’s journey from communist Romania to North Texas and the warning signs she sees in today’s politics.

episode How Annie’s List and Vote Save America Are Rewriting Texas Politics cover

How Annie’s List and Vote Save America Are Rewriting Texas Politics

Isabel Longoria isn’t giving up on Texas—and neither should we. In this episode of Taco Policy, Kat Vargas of Howdy Politics sits down with Annie’s List Executive Director Isabel Longoria to talk about what it really takes to win in Texas. From Annie’s List’s new partnership with Vote Save America to a bold 2026 strategy focused on local races, rural organizing, and recruiting women candidates, Isabel shares how Democrats are building power for the long haul. They dive into the data behind where progressives can win, the imposter syndrome that holds women back from running, and why putting your name on the ballot—win or lose—matters more than ever. Plus: tacos, Texas trivia, and why building bigger tables (not gatekeeping them) is the only way forward.

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
