Episode Details

Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Riley Rodriquez, Democratic candidate for Texas State Senate in District 28, for a candid and spirited discussion about the future of West Texas. 

Riley shares his vision for the district and outlines key concerns he believes need attention — including managing projected population growth tied to incoming data centers and industrial expansion, as well as rising housing, grocery, and electricity costs in rural communities.

The conversation also explores how Riley aims to distinguish his campaign from broader national Democratic Party issues and why we are seeing the big push for data centers all across America.
