On Tuesday’s show: We sit down for a candidate interview with former Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards. She’s challenging Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in the Democratic primary for Texas’ 18th Congressional District.

Also this hour: We Houstonians have been through a lot in the past decade. Floods, drought, extreme heat, freezes – has it all conditioned us to overreact?

Then, we talk about the challenges of trying to live in Houston without a car.

And Celeste Schurman reports on how social media star Keith Lee affected local restaurants he’s visited and talked up.
