Welcome to Episode #16 of Bills & Business: TXLege News! In this engaging installment, host Laura Davis, Co-Founder of USLege, sits down with Texas lobbyist Lucas Meyers, Managing Principal of Governmental Affairs LLC. Lucas brings decades of experience from the Texas Senate and House, navigating complex policy areas from telecommunications to taxes and oil and gas, while even sharing a light-hearted nod to his interest in DJing and rugby.

In this episode, Lucas demystifies lobbying by addressing common misconceptions and explaining its constitutional protections as a First Amendment right. Listeners gain strategic insights into how effective lobbying can drive economic benefits, support businesses of all sizes, and influence policy outcomes across Texas and beyond. Join us as Lucas shares his journey and expert advice on building trust, leveraging a first-mover advantage, and crafting effective governmental relations strategies.
