Texas Number of the Week:

Over a week into the third special session of the Texas legislature, the packed schedule will address five agenda items set by Governor Greg Abbott earlier this month:
1. Redistricting
2. Vaccine mandates
3. COVID-19 relief spending
4. Rules on transgender youth sports
5. Rules on tethering dogs

Redrawing boundary lines — and placing the two congressional seats that new census data has added to Texas — is the top priority for the session. Political headlines indicate that the addition of hot button topics like transgender sports and reopening an animal abuse bill Abbott previously vetoed are likely intended to rally conservative support ahead of a 2022 bid for reelection.
