With the Tuesday election just days away, the future of Harris County hangs in the balance. In this high-stakes episode, we sit down with Dr. Letitia Plummer, the history-making former City Council member who resigned her seat to run for Harris County Judge.
Dr. Plummer isn't your typical "establishment" politician. A Spelman alumna, practicing dentist, and small business owner, she carries a powerful civil rights lineage—her grandfather was a legendary lawyer who represented Muhammad Ali. But her path hasn't been easy. For the first time, she speaks deeply on how a public and painful custody battle transformed her from a healthcare professional into a fierce advocate for family and legal rights.
In this episode, we dive deep into the issues that matter most to our community:
The Crisis in our Schools: As families face the fallout of the HISD takeover and school closures, Dr. Plummer explains why she is willing to disrupt the system to bring youth mental health services directly into our classrooms.
Dignity & Housing: From holding "slum-lords" accountable to her "worst-first" approach to infrastructure, find out how she plans to ensure Black neighborhoods are never again the last to receive help.
Disruptor vs. Establishment: Why she is choosing to challenge political giants like former Mayor Annise Parker to give a voice to those the system has ignored.
This isn't just another political interview—it’s a conversation about restoring dignity to our community and the power of the vote. Dr. Plummer has put her career on the line to fight for this office. Tune in to hear why she believes this Tuesday is a turning point for Harris County and why you cannot afford to stay home.
The election is Tuesday. Your power is your vote. Listen now.
