In addition to interviewing all of the Democratic candidates for State House in Harris County, I wanted to make sure I also spoke to the incumbent Reps who face Republican opposition. With today's interview of Rep. Ana Hernandez, the incumbent in HD143, I've completed that task. Hernandez won a tough special election against a big field last November to fill the seat of the late Rep. Joe Moreno, for whom Hernandez had once worked. She did a nice job in the special sessions earlier this year, and is one of the growing number of bright spots for the Dems in the House.

Here's the interview:

Link for the MP3 file is here. Rep. Hernandez also did a guest post for me earlier this month.
