Next time on State of Belief: two members of the Texas State Legislature who are taking on some of the seminal issues challenging the state – and the nation – today. Rep. Salman Bhojani was born in Pakistan and is the first Muslim elected to the Texas state legislature. Rep. James Talarico is a Harvard grad and former middle school teacher. They’re eminently equipped to take on the daunting issues facing the state – and the nation. From immigration to education, from anti-LGBT discrimination to health care, and lots more, what happens in Texas rarely stays in Texas.
