Upcoming BAD meeting:
Thursday, November 14th
12:00 p.m.
Longhorn Cafe, 369 S. Esser, Boerne (Upstairs)
The guest speaker is Trey Martinez Fischer, who is currently serving in the Texas House of Representatives District 116. He will provide analysis of the 2024 election results.
Trey was first elected to the Texas House in 2000 and in his very first term in the House, he was voted “Freshman of the Year” by both his Republican and Democratic colleagues.
Through his 10 terms in the House, Trey has earned a reputation as a passionate voice for people who have none and is known as a leader who won’t back down from his convictions. His legislative skills in standing up for children, veterans, and the disabled over special interests have become legendary.
Trey’s contributions to Texans have been undeniable. When Republicans slashed billions from school funding, it was Trey who stood up to them and got funding restored, becoming a major player in the negotiations that saw $3.9 billion returned to our public schools.
Most recently, he was appointed to Chair the powerful House Committee on Business & Industry. With this position and a coveted position on House Ways & Means, the taxation committee of the House, Trey is in a better position than ever to bring real, substantive change to Texas.
Trey is the recipient of numerous recognitions for his ability – Texas Monthly named him “The Bull of the Brazos” in 2011 for his relentless efforts to stop the disastrous Republican agenda. Trey’s also been named one of the “10 Best Legislators” in Texas multiple times by Texas Monthly, a “heavy hitter… focused on shooting down the Republicans’ agenda” by the New York Times, one of the “20 Latino Democrats to watch over the next 20 years” by Hearst Newspapers, and a “Texas Influencer” by Campaigns & Elections Magazine.
The meeting is open to the public and everyone is invited to attend. Note: if you plan to eat during the meeting, please arrive early to place your order.
