This Week: Representative Valinda Bolton

This week on Texas Politics Today: Representative Valinda Bolton, Democratic candidate for State Representative in House District 47. HD-47 covers much of southern and southwestern Travis County. Bolton has been the State Representative since she won a close race in 2006. We'll ask her about her accomplishments during her first term and invite her to make her case for re-election.

Ms. Bolton's opponent, Donna Keel, has declined multiple requests to appear on the show.
