Texas Rep. Greg Casar Discusses Music Legislation And His Love for Grupo Frontera & Peso Pluma
The Congressman caught up with Billboard on day two of the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention has had its fair share of flashy moments – from Lil Jon ’s “Turn Down for What” cameo during roll call to Patti LaBelle ’s gorgeous rendition of “You Are My Friend” — but the primetime show isn’t the only thing happening in Chicago this week (Aug. 19-22). In addition to the main event, which takes place in Chi-Town’s United Center arena, the morning and afternoons are filled with different council and caucus meetings that fire voters up, educate them on grassroots campaign strategies and break down the party’s 2024 platform.
