What are Texas legislators in the Rio Grande Valley hearing from their constituents, and what are they prioritizing in the 2023 session?
Join us Aug. 24 in Edinburg or tune in online to hear local RGV lawmakers talk about how the last session has impacted life in South Texas, the upcoming midterm elections and what it all means for the 2023 legislative session.
In 2021, the Texas Legislature passed laws that created new voting restrictions, redrew the state’s political maps and limited how current events and America’s history of racism are taught in public schools. Since then, the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade and Gov. Greg Abbott’s border operation has come under severe scrutiny.
Join us in Edinburg or tune in online on Wednesday, Aug. 24, at noon Central for a Texas Tribune event on the legislative interim and what’s ahead for the 2023 session. Hear from State Sen. Chuy Hinojosa, D-McAllen; State Rep. Oscar Longoria, D-Mission; and State Rep. Armando Martinez, D-Weslaco, in a conversation moderated by Tribune CEO Evan Smith.
The event will take place at the Doctor's Hospital at Renaissance Conference Center, located at 118 Paseo Del Prado, Edinburg, TX 78539. A light lunch and networking will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by an hourlong conversation beginning at noon.
This in-person event will be simultaneously streamed for virtual attendees and available to watch on demand afterward at texastribune.org/events.
Join us at The Texas Tribune Festival for even more big-thinking conversations on Texas and the future, happening Sept. 22-24 in downtown Austin. Buy tickets.
