Tina and Hillary cover former US House Representative for Tennessee, Sam Houston and Vice President Mike Pence’s time as Indiana Governor.
Tina’s Story
Sam Houston served as the US House Rep for Tennessee, then earned a seat as Governor of Tennessee, and then later became the Republic of Texas’s first and third president, senator of Texas, and later served as Governor of Texas. But, his early career in Tennessee came to a halting end because of marital strife.
Hillary’s Story
Before serving as Vice President and leading the Coronavirus Task Force, Pence served as Indiana governor. But, when the then governor faced a potential AIDS outbreak in 2015, he ignored public health advice which led to hundreds of cases statewide.
