News Report from this Briefing

Event Overview

Ethnic news media serving audiences in the greater Houston metropolitan area get to meet, hear from and ask questions of four first-time ethnic candidates running for office in Harris and Fort Bend counties: hear what made them decide to run for office, what they want to accomplish and what a day in the life of a first-time candidate is like.

This is a non-partisan educational event to help ethnic media reporters cover the elections. It is cosponsored by EMGAGE, OCA, and Bridges to Empowerment.
