This week in Texas: Houston fire contracts, immigration policies and the historic election of Senator Cook

In an all-new episode of This Week in Texas, the Houston firefighters finally have a contract, but at what cost?

ABC13 looks at the numbers and sits down with Texas’ new history-making politician, state Sen. Molly Cook.

“I’m really grateful to the people who came before me and made this all possible,” Cook said.

She talks about breaking barriers and her legislative priorities.

Plus, an analysis of the Biden administration’s executive orders on immigration with our panel of political insiders and a discussion with two Ukrainian pastors who traveled to Texas to share their stories of persecution amid their country’s war and Russia.

This is a mid-summer edition of This Week in Texas.
