About this episode
Greg Sindelar interviews Senator Tan Parker about his political journey and various policy topics at the Texas Policy Summit.
Live from the 2026 Texas Policy Summit, TPPF CEO Greg Sindelar talks with Texas State Senator Tan Parker about his Fort Worth upbringing in a civically minded family, his early passion for politics inspired by Ronald Reagan, and his decision to run for office. They dive into a variety of policy topics, including: property tax relief, homeland security legislation (Senate Bill 36) that codified border and critical infrastructure protections for the first time, establishing a state cybersecurity agency, A.I. regulation, and the soon-to-be-open Texas Stock Exchange. Senator Parker also shares his infrastructure and mobility priorities as chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, and what’s ahead for the 90th Legislative Session.
