One of the many things I enjoy about the process of interviewing candidates is getting to meet and learn a little about some interesting people. The election season draws a lot of newcomers into the system, and it’s cool to have a ground-floor view of the ones who take on leadership roles. Running for office, especially a basically unpaid office like State Representative, is a thankless task, and meeting a bunch of bright and energetic people who are doing it because they think they have something to give that will help make the state a better place is refreshing and energizing for me. So with all that said, let me introduce one of these new guys on the scene, Trey Fleming, who is running for House District 135 out in northwest Harris County, currently held by Gary Elkins. You can listen to my conversation with Fleming here. Let me know what you think.
