It's that time again when we invite the experts, who also happen to be trusted allies, to come and share what we should be expecting in the upcoming legislative session. As Texas embarks on her 89th Legislative Session in 2025, there are numerous priorities to push, representatives to watch and support, and votes to count on. Sometimes the devil is in the details when it comes to these things, so that's why we are looking forward to hearing what these organizations have to say. Join us and bring a friend as we hear from Andrew McVeigh, from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, Senator Bob Hall, to touch on the Texas power grid, and Chris Russo, from Texans for Strong Borders.

About Andrew McVeigh:
Andrew McVeigh currently serves as President and CEO of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility. Born into a military family, Andrew is a graduate of Texas A&M University, with a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science. Andrew has worked on or managed campaigns for conservative candidates in Texas, and worked in the Texas Legislature for three sessions. He is a husband, a faithful Christian, and proud son of Texas. He currently resides in Austin with his wife.
About Bob Hall:
Senator Bob Hall, father of four boys and husband to Kay Hall, taught his family the importance of faith, family and hard work. Senator Hall graduated from The Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina with a degree in Electrical Engineering and received a Regular Commission as a 2nd Lieutenant in the US Air Force. While a cadet at the Citadel he received numerous awards for leadership. He was the only Air Force Cadet selected to be a Battalion Commander and was awarded the coveted Wade Hampton saber as the graduating cadet who had contributed the most to the Citadel during the four years he was a cadet, and was listed in “Who’s Who In American Colleges” his Senior year. Upon graduation, Bob began his active duty as a Systems Engineer working to develop the Minuteman Missile System during the Cold War at Norton AFB in California, where he achieved the rank of Captain.
After the Air Force he worked in the Aerospace industry as a systems engineer and business development manager. In 1982 he left the corporate world and began working as an independent proposal consultant to aerospace and defense corporations. Then in 1984 he formed his own company, Professional Proposal Management, Inc.
A compelling sense of duty, shaped by his military service, business experience, and love for this country, drives him to leave behind the legacy of a patriotic servant for his children and grandchildren. Envisioning their futures compelled him to become actively involved in the state’s political process and strongly believes it is time to stand in the gap for our children, our liberties and our future.
About Chris Russo:
Chris Russo is the founder and President of Texans for Strong Borders. Chris founded Strong Borders in 2022 after observing that while many special interest policy organizations exist across the conservative spectrum, no group was organized and actively pushing for Texas First border security and immigration policies at the state level.
Chris worked for six years as a flight controller for the International Space Station at NASA Johnson Space Center before leaving in October 2022 to focus full-time on fighting to secure the Texas border and put Texans first. He is also an avid grassroots activist, has participated in several campaigns around the state, and served as the SD-11 GOP Resolutions Committee chair in 2020. He attended Texas A&M, where he received both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering.
