Dear Friend,

Last week, TPPF brought together some of the most influential leaders in both Texas politics and the national scene for the Foundation's annual Policy Orientation. If you joined us in person or watched via livestream, you helped make this event a huge success. If you missed out, you can catch the keynote and panel recaps on our YouTube playlist.

From the opening keynote with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to our closing session with new members of Congress, a continued theme emerged—now is the time for Texas to lead by example. At a time when our nation needs policy innovation and principled leadership, the Lone Star State can continue to lead the nation, and in turn the world.

In addition to our opening and closing keynotes, we also hosted Gov. Greg Abbott, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Congressman Chip Roy, and Wall Street Journal Editorial Board member, Kimberley Strassel.

While we are fortunate to attract many big-name leaders to our Policy Orientation, what really matters are the thoughts and conversations that stem from this annual event. We invite you to keep the discussions going.

Beyond the keynote addresses, our panel sessions with statewide leaders, legislators, grassroots activists, and experts examined some of the most relevant issues facing Texas today. Catch a session you missed or watch it again on our YouTube PO2021 playlist.

Stay connected - sign up for our weekday newsletter, The Cannon, which brings you the TPPF take on today’s most important stories, or join the newsletter(s) for one or all of policy campaigns covering issues from K-12 education to election protection.

Above all, I’m hopeful about the future of our nation. I hope you will join me in praying for our nation—and for our leaders, whoever they may be.

Sincerely,
