    Keep up the great reporting. Hopefully see y’... more

Happy Hour 288- North D/FW Dem Nominee Kevin Burge
Q: What is it that you would say is in it for the voters in this race between you and Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, how do the lives of your individual voters stand to improve by putting you in this office rather than your opponent?
