Episode 139: The Political Fallout from Last Week’s Election

Clark Corbin | 11/16/2018

Welcome to episode 139 of the Extra Credit podcast.

With the election behind us, the struggle for power and influence in the Legislature begins. On this week’s episode we explain why control of the House Education Committee is up for grabs and why there could be a new speaker of the House in 2019.

We will be off next week for Thanksgiving, but we will return with another new episode of Extra Credit on Nov. 30.
