On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Houston City Councilwoman Abbie Kamin in the first hour of the show, who talks to us about the city’s new gun violence tracking dashboard, as well as her run for Harris County attorney.

Then, local author William Dylan Powell tells us about his new book, Lost Treasures of Houston, which explores the cultural and physical history of the Bayou City by celebrating the amazing people, places, and phenomena of our fair city’s past.

In the show's second hour, with expiring subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) threatening to drive up insurance premiums for millions of Americans, Emma Wager, a senior policy analyst at KFF, joins us to discuss what lawmakers are weighing and what’s at stake for everyday families.

Plus, we also hear from Alison Bell, executive director of The Heritage Society, who joins us to tell us more about their organization’s historic houses in Sam Houston Park and their efforts to share the stories of Houston’s rich and diverse history.

And, as always, Ernie and Frank discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including a CDC vaccine advisory panel voting to end the recommendation for newborns to receive the Hepatitis B vaccination at birth, Colin Allred dropping out of the U.S. senate race, and the Golden Globe nominations.
