About Cody Pogue

I was raised in a blue collar family in Northeast Harris County. I spent my weekends at my grandparents’ farm where I learned the value of hard work, the love of family, and the beauty of nature.
On social issues, I am mostly libertarian. On economic, education, environmental, and social justice issues I tend to be a liberal from the worldview of John Rawls. When it comes to technology, science, and infrastructure, I believe we should push forward with great determination, but maintain a moral standard that we do not let progress destroy who we are and what we value. I believe in elevating the rhetoric of politics, learning from our mistakes, and working with others in a spirit of compromise. That all being said, I am a pragmatist, believing we should often put aside our perfect ideologies in order to solve the real life problems of a complex and dangerous world.
