Anyone who missed early September’s TribFest or just didn’t get enough civic engagement that weekend will be psyched to hear that Texas Tribune co-founder Evan Smith is moderating a convo with two stellar state legislators. Rep. John Bucy’s House District 136 covers parts of Austin, Round Rock, and Cedar Park, and Rep. Gina Hinojosa’s HD 49 covers a strip of Central Austin from Duval Road down to William Cannon. Both Democrats and native Texans, the pair are also passionate about public education, which is sure to be a hot topic next Lege session and possibly at this conversation.
