Join KUT and Good Politicsat Austin Motel on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at 6:30 p.m. in the courtyard and poolside as we share Lone Stars and hear local leaders unpack what is actually going on in Texas politics — from new laws passed at the state Capitol this year to the possibility of Texas being a swing state in 2020.
But what does all of that actually mean for us?
Join in for a wide-ranging conversation with KUT’s Ashley Lopez, along with elected officials and others to talk about:
- Big takeaways from the 2019 Texas legislative session
- What is actually happening down on our southern border?
- Is Texas really a swing state?
- Who’s running against Sen. John Cornyn and what do they stand for?
- Austin’s congressional races heating up
- How are presidential candidates from Texas, Julián Castro and Beto O’Rourke, doing?
You don’t need to have any prior knowledge on in order to attend. We're here to learn and to have fun and to take advantage of half-off Austin Motel pool passes together.
We’ll kick off the evening with a panel in the courtyard followed by cocktails, poolside.
This event is free and open to the public, pool passes are available for purchase at a discounted rate of $10.
