375: What happens when a stay-at-home dad with a decade of youth outreach experience decides to run for the Texas House? We sit down with District 50 candidate John Hash to map the road from everyday life to the state Capitol, translating committee-speak, ballot rules, and campaign realities into plain English. If you’ve ever wondered how bills are crafted, why fundraising expands staff power, or what a representative can actually change for local schools, this conversation gives you a clear window into the process.
If you care about Texas politics, public education, and the moral foundations behind policy, this episode will challenge and equip you. Subscribe, share with a friend who loves local civics, and leave a review with the one change you’d make for Texas schools. Your feedback shapes what we tackle next.
Text your questions to us at 737-231-0605 or visit pastorplek.com. We talk faith, culture, and everything in between.
