Are you a fan of South Plains politics? Here are your talking points for this week.

Donald Trump was a no-show for the Texas Republican Convention in Dallas. Ted Cruz wouldn’t even mention his name and that may have been the least of the drama that took place at the convention.

A new mayor and one one councilman may add energy and ideas to Lubbock. There are two council races still to be decided that could alter the City’s ruling body for years. We’ll talk to one of those candidates in our studio.

Talking Points with Bryan Mudd airs each Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. and Sunday evenings at 11:05 p.m.
