With a little more than a month to go until the Nov. 6 elections, legislators, budget professionals, education and business leaders will share their perspectives on the 2013 Texas legislature at an Oct. 3 conference at the Baker Institute.
The public is invited to attend “Perspectives on the Texas Legislature: 2013 Session,” but an RSVP is required.
Speakers for the daylong event include Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives; Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, Texas state senator for District 13; Evan Smith, editor-in-chief and CEO of the Texas Tribune and former editor of Texas Monthly; John Sharp, chancellor of the Texas A&M University System and former Texas comptroller; Mike Moses, former Texas commissioner of education; John Montford, a former chancellor of Texas Tech University and former Texas state senator; Billy Hamilton, former deputy comptroller of Texas; and Mark Jones, Baker Institute fellow in political science.
Join us on Oct. 3 in the Baker Institute’s Doré Commons for an informative inside look at the upcoming legislative session in Austin. The event begins at 8:30 am and is hosted by Rice’s Hobby Center for the Study of Texas and the Baker Institute.
