Hannah Bruck is a Policy Scholar at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, where she specializes in family policy research and quantitative assessments of legislative efficiency in the Texas Legislature. A graduate of Patrick Henry College, she is passionate about advancing policies that strengthen families and foster thriving communities.

For her senior thesis, Hannah conducted an in-depth analysis of the “kingpin strategy” in Mexico and evaluated the broader efficacy of U.S. intervention, strengthening her skills in data-driven policy research and comparative analysis. While at Patrick Henry College, she represented her school twice at the Transatlantic Dialogues in Paris, France, placing first in 2024 and third in 2025. These experiences broadened her perspective on governance, civic institutions, and the role strong families play in thriving societies.

Now based in Austin, Hannah enjoys running, reading classical literature, and exploring the city’s vibrant culture.
