<p> <strong>Emily Ramshaw</strong> is the editor of The Texas Tribune. Under her leadership, the Tribune has won three national Edward R. Murrow Awards, IRE's Gannett Award for Innovation in Watchdog Journalism and a general excellence award from the Online News Association. Before coming aboard as one of the Tribune’s original reporters, Ramshaw spent six years at The Dallas Morning News, where she broke national stories about sexual abuse inside Texas’ youth lock-ups, reported from inside a West Texas polygamist compound, uncovered “fight clubs” inside state institutions for the disabled and investigated a series of deadly transplants where patients received rabies-tainted organs. The Texas APME named Ramshaw its 2008 Star Reporter of the Year. </p> <ul class="social_links"> <li><a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#513423303c2239302611253429302225233833243f347f3e2336"> <i class="icon-envelope"></i> <span><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e580978488968d8492a591809d849691978c87908b80cb8a9782">[email protected]</span><script cf-hash="f9e31" type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */!function(){try{var t="currentScript"in document?document.currentScript:function(){for(var t=document.getElementsByTagName("script"),e=t.length;e--;)if(t[e].getAttribute("cf-hash"))return t[e]}();if(t&&t.previousSibling){var e,r,n,i,c=t.previousSibling,a=c.getAttribute("data-cfemail");if(a){for(e="",r=parseInt(a.substr(0,2),16),n=2;a.length-n;n+=2)i=parseInt(a.substr(n,2),16)^r,e+=String.fromCharCode(i);e=document.createTextNode(e),c.parentNode.replaceChild(e,c)}}}catch(u){}}();/* ]]> */</script></span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150504011424/tel:512-716-8619"> <i class="icon-phone"></i> <span>512-716-8619</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150504011424/http://twitter.com/eramshaw" target="_blank"> <i class="icon-twitter"></i> <span>@eramshaw</span> </a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150504011424/http://facebook.com/Emily Ramshaw" target="_blank"> <i class="icon-facebook"></i> <span>Emily Ramshaw</span> </a></li> </ul> </div> <section id="contributions"> <a name="contributions"></a> <h2>Recent Contributions</h2> <div class="contributions"> <nav class="pagination"> <ul class="pagination"><li class="disabled"><span class="disabled prev"><span>&lsaquo;</span> previous</span></li><li><span class="current page">1</span></li><li><a href="?page=2#contributions" class="page">2</a></li><li><a href="?page=3#contributions" class="page">3</a></li><li><a href="?page=4#contributions" class="page">4</a></li><li><a class="disabled">…</a></li><li><a href="?page=38#contributions" class="page">38</a></li><li><a href="?page=39#contributions" class="page">39</a></li><li><a href="?page=40#contributions" class="page">40</a></li><li><a href="?page=41#contributions" class="page">41</a></li><li class="last"><a href="?page=2#contributions" class="next">next <span>&rsaquo;</span></a></li></ul> </nav> <article class=""> <header> <h1><a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/2015/04/29/tribcast-abortion-bills-tax-cut-drama-and-voter-id/">TribCast: Abortion Bills, Tax Cut Drama and Voter ID</a></h1> </header> <div class="media story_page"> <a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/2015/04/29/tribcast-abortion-bills-tax-cut-drama-and-voter-id/"> <img src="//web.archive.org/web/20150504011424im_/http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.texastribune.org/media/images/2015/03/11/TT-tribcast2015-1024x680-final_jpg_260x1000_q100.jpg" alt=""> </a> <div class="photo_links"> <a href="//web.archive.org/web/20150504011424/http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.texastribune.org/media/images/2015/03/11/TT-tribcast2015-1024x680-final_jpg_800x1000_q100.jpg" title="" class="lightbox enlarge">Enlarge</a> </div> </div> <header> <ul class="meta separator"><li class="byline"> by <a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/about/staff/emily-ramshaw/">Emily Ramshaw</a> and <a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/about/staff/twiseman/">Todd Wiseman</a></li><li><time datetime="Wed, 29 Apr 2015 14:05:22 -0500" title="2015-04-29 14:05"> April 29, 2015 </time></li></ul> </header> <section class="summary"> <p>On this week's TribCast, Emily chats with Ross, Aman and Alexa about a resurgence of anti-abortion legislation, the House-Senate fight over tax cuts and the voter ID courtroom battle. </p> <a class="permalink" href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/2015/04/29/tribcast-abortion-bills-tax-cut-drama-and-voter-id/"> <i class="icon-share-alt"></i> Full Story</a> </section> </article> <article class=""> <header> <h1><a href="/web/20150504011424/http://www.texastribune.org/2015/04/22/tribcast-godless-pre-k-house-v-senate-v-abbott/">TribCast: Godless Pre-K, House v.
