Live from the 2026 Texas Policy Summit, TPPF CEO Greg Sindelar talks with Texas State Senator Tan Parker about his Fort Worth upbringing in a civically minded family, his early passion for politics inspired by Ronald Reagan, and his decision to run for office.
They dive into a variety of policy topics, including: property tax relief, homeland security legislation (Senate Bill 36) that codified border and critical infrastructure protections for the first time, establishing a state cybersecurity agency, A.I. regulation, and the soon-to-be-open Texas Stock Exchange. Senator Parker also shares his infrastructure and mobility priorities as chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, and what’s ahead for the 90th Legislative Session.
