Location

Texas
Many out-of-state candidates ask about life in Texas. First off, people don't say y'all all the time, though it is pretty fun to say. Texas Pride is real but not in a pretentious way, and football is taken seriously-very seriously! The steaks are amazing, and if you like Mexican food, you'll be in heaven. Yes, you can drive for hours and still be in the same state, but Texas provides a variety of landscape between the northern and southern parts of the state; in Texas, you really can have it all.
