"I’m comin’ home," Chandler tweeted. "Next month, I’ll be back at the Capitol covering #txlege and chasing stories across Texas, based with my friends @KXAN_News and airing statewide. And Lubbock, this is not my 2 week notice - I’ll still be on KAMC/KLBK! Can’t wait to see you all soon."
Chandler has been with KAMC since August 2021.
Before that he was a legislative aide during the 87th session.
The University of Texas at Austin 2021 grad was a political intern with KXAN. He also interned with Harris County Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Adrian Garcia's campaign for Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 2.
