Legislative Services

The Texas Association of Counties' podcast, Texas County Voice, brings listeners conversations with local leaders discussing the issues that shape Texas counties. The latest episode features an interview with Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai, one of the few Asian American county judges in the nation.

Judge Sakai shares his journey from growing up in Hidalgo County's farmlands to leading one of the state's most populous counties. He also talks about his father's experience in a World War II internment camp and how it shaped his dedication to public service.

Recent episodes also include conversations with Llano County Judge Ron Cunningham and Lampasas County Judge Randy Hoyer that offer insights on how actions by Congress and the Legislature affect counties and local taxpayers.

All three episodes underscore the critical role of effective governance in navigating challenges and driving positive change at the local level. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the strategies county leaders use to advocate for their communities.

Please listen as Texas County Voice amplifies the voices that shape the Lone Star State, one county at a time. Tune in here.
