On today’s Hello Houston, the University of Houston Law Center’s David Froomkin joins us to help us make sense of what’s happening with mail-in voting after a federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order imposing restrictions on mail-in voting.
Then, we discuss why childhood vaccination rates are declining and what this means for children and communities with Dr. Michael Burgess, a physician and former U.S. Congressman, who represented Texas’s 26th district.
