We haven’t announced our schedule yet — but today, we’re giving y’all a sneak peek at the hot topics we’re inviting legislators to discuss.
Here are my top three most-anticipated panels:
- Urban vs. Rural: In the legislature, so often the political fault lines don’t run based on political party, but rather the population makeup of lawmakers’ districts. Join us to discuss how the urban and rural divides in the legislature play arguably the biggest role in faction-forming and policy-making.
- Legislative Dynamics: House vs. Senate: Each session, the relationships between both chambers of the legislature, both featuring Republican majorities, are under the microscope. Will their respective leaders coalesce or war? What policy issues will make it through one chamber, but not another? Enjoy a conversation with members of both the House and Senate for an inside look at what to expect in this session.
- Public Education and School Choice: After an incredibly heated but successful election season for Gov. Abbott and school choice advocates, the most anticipated policy fight of the 89th Legislative Session is no doubt set to be school choice — and how/if public school funding will be part of the equation.
The mainstream media won’t be able to muddy the waters with their biased reporting. But you can be there — with The Texan — to hear directly from those shaping Texas policy and get the unvarnished truth about what’s happening in our great state.
Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen your understanding of Texas politics and engage with thought leaders who share our commitment to truth and transparency.
