On this episode of Getting Real w/ Rueben, I sit down with Kristian Carranza, candidate for Texas House District 118, to talk about her journey from high school cheerleader on the Southside of San Antonio to a community leader and political challenger. We dive into her 2024 campaign, the lessons she learned, and her strategy for the upcoming 2026 race!We also tackle the critical topic of gerrymandering in Texas and what it means for fair representation, our education system, and communities of color. Kristian shares her perspective on the fight for equity, inclusion, and empowering underrepresented voters.Along the way, we reminisce about our shared high school experiences, explore her roots in Southside San Antonio, and discuss how her lived experience shapes her mission to fight for justice, opportunity, and progress.Whether you care about Texas politics, Democratic values, voting rights, or fair representation, this conversation is packed with insight, inspiration, and a real look at the people shaping our future.Follow Kristian Carranza:Instagram: @KristianforTXFacebook: @KristianforTXwww.kristianfortexas.com
