The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Democrat David Alameel is in an uphill race against Republican John Cornyn for his Senate seat, but Alameel says he's running because of his desire to reform his own party. Also, Dallas filmmaker David Lowery is becoming a hot commodity in Hollywood. His work is the focus on KERA TV's Frame of Mind and this week's Big Screen.   

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
