At our July general meeting, we hosted Blake Ellis, Ph.D and Senior Associate Vice President of Student Engagement at Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, who discussed the history of progressive politics in Houston. In order to know where we're going, it's important to know where we've been. We were also joined by Chris Hollins, Vice-Chair of Finance for the Texas Democratic Party, who gave us an update on what's going on with our state party.
