Laura Davis at the Texas Association of Business Dynamism Summit

In November 2025, USLege co-founder and Chief Business Officer Laura Davis joined senior leaders from Amazon, OpenAI, and Meta on the opening panel of the Texas Association of Business's 2025 Texas Dynamism Summit, held at the Boeing Tech Center at Port San Antonio. The panel, "AI & The Texas Advantage," was moderated by Megan Mauro, Executive Vice President of the Texas Association of Business, and set the tone for a day that also included a fireside chat with Governor Greg Abbott, who received the Texas Association of Business's inaugural "Champion of Capitalism" award, and remarks from Port of San Antonio President and CEO Jim Perschbach, according to the Texas Association of Business's own recap of the event.

What the panel covered

Sharing a stage with hyperscaler and frontier-lab leadership from Amazon, OpenAI, and Meta put Laura in position to make the case for a different kind of AI story: not just the infrastructure and model layer, but what AI looks like when it's built to support a profession most people never think about. the Texas Association of Business's own recap of the summit says the panel "examined how startups and global companies are positioning Texas as the center of American AI progress" — placing USLege, a Texas-built startup, in the same conversation as three of the largest AI players in the world.

Verbatim quotes

On the work government relations professionals actually do:

"At USLege, we understand the work human government relations professionals do and respect the challenges they face. A big part of their job is monitoring hearings, testimony, news, and proposals across a broad range of issues."

On why that work is hard to scale without help:

"This work is essential, incredibly valuable, and enormously time-consuming. Even the best lobbyists can't be in 8 committee rooms at once."

On results from USLege's platform:

"One of our largest customers, a state agency's government relations department, was able to double their productivity and improve their response time using the same staff."

On where AI fits into that work:

"USLege uses AI to empower the human element, not replace it."

On why Texas is the right place to build this:

"Texas business leaders are known to THINK BIG, and they understand that AI is a transformational technology."

Why it matters for government affairs teams

the Texas Association of Business put a legislative-intelligence startup on the same panel as Amazon, OpenAI, and Meta to talk about what AI actually looks like in practice in Texas. Laura's framing — AI as a way to give an already-stretched profession its time back, not automate it out of existence — is a clean summary of USLege's core pitch: legislative work generates far more hearings, testimony, and filings than any team can watch in real time, and the goal here is coverage, not replacement.
