Interview: How to Come Out as a Democrat in Texas

Yay! It’s our first interview! With politico operative Christopher Busby, a former Houston Young Republican President and former Log Cabin President.

Christopher is a current medical student and provides his insight on politics, how things have changed over the last several decades in Texas and why.

We will discuss what being a politico means, how he got into politics, why he left the Republican party and why so many others are as leaving the Republican Party as well.

Finally, why we should stay in our own lane when we are voting in the primary election and why you should vote for who you want as the candidate, not necessarily who you think will win.

Let’s dive in!
