In this special extended episode of Politics with the Big Dogs, Anthony sits down with State Rep. Shelley Luther for one of the most personal and powerful conversations the show has aired.
Long before she entered the Texas House, Luther became a national symbol of resistance during the COVID shutdowns. As a salon owner in North Texas, she reopened after one of her stylists told her she had not eaten because she was feeding her children. Luther refused to shut back down, refused to apologize and was sent to jail.
Now, six years later, she reflects on that fight, what she learned about courage, how her faith deepened and why she later chose to run for office.
The conversation also covers the devastating brain aneurysm that nearly killed her, her long recovery, her sense of purpose after survival and what surprised her most about serving in the Texas Legislature.
This is a full-length streaming conversation and a special extended episode you will not hear in full on the radio.
Anthony breaks down Houston, schools, power and what Texans aren’t being told.
