Laura Nicol
I know I previously said that I would only have two interviews with legislative candidates this year. That was indeed my plan originally, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the years that I’ve been doing these interviews it’s that things often diverge from my plans. The good news is that generally winds up being an improvement, and it definitely winds up meaning more interviews. So with that in mind, here is my interview with Laura Nicol, the Democratic candidate for State Rep. in HD133, in the Westchase area of town. A native of Austin and a UT graduate, Nicol has a degree in electrical engineering and has worked as an EE, but now spends her time as a volunteer in the community, her kids’ schools, and in Democratic politics, having become active during the 2008 presidential primary. Here’s what we talked about:
I’ll be wrapping up candidate interviews the week after next, and will continue to run the judicial Q&As for as long as I get responses to them.
