Well, my name is Craig Goldman. I'm a state representative. I represent south portion. My district is consists of southwest Tarrant County. Every single state rep represents about 180,000 people. With so many more people moving to Texas, that will probably be closer to 200,000 people after we have redistricting this year. And so we come down to Austin and there are 150 members in the Texas state house. And we come to Austin every other year for only six months to pass laws for the citizens of Texas. (00:53–01:02)
