Lewis Conway Jr. shares his story on being the first formerly incarcerated person to run for office in Texas. Hear his inspiring story of finding purpose through spending a message of hope, second chances, and advocating for change.
Environmental Forums for City of Austin Council Candidates 2018 Shades of Green hosted Environmental Forums for our City Council candidates to find out their positions on critical issues facing the City. Each candidate is asked to elaborate on their position on issues regarding climate change, transportation, water and other important environmental topics. Part 1 today includes candidates running for District 1. In the studio we had candidates: Natasha Harper-Madison Mariana Salazar Reedy Spigner (Other candidates Mitrah Avini, Lewis Conway Jr., and Vincent Harding were invited but unable to attend)
I chat with Austin City council candidate, Lewis Conway, Jr. A contender for a seat representing Austin's District 1, Conway's run has captured the attention of the state as well as the country due to his status as a convicted felon. His candidacy could mark a change in societal attitudes toward felons, much less those seeking political office. Democratic socialism, Austin politics, second chances and the prison-industrial complex are all on the menu in this discussion.

Should someone who has been convicted of a felony be allowed to run for city counsel? What if it was murder? What if they have been more than a productive member of society and have made huge contributions to the betterment of their community?
Join us this Wednesday as we speak with Lewis Conway Jr.
