Join us for an exclusive Zoom conversation with Jim Henson and Josh Blank from the Texas Politics Project at UT Austin, as they unpack the latest polling data from across the state. They’ll offer insights into how Texans view the most pressing issues—including reactions to policy debates and outcomes from the 89th Texas Legislative Session.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from two of the state’s top political analysts on shifting public opinion, emerging trends, and what it all means for Texas politics going forward.
