Welcome to Episode #20 of Bills & Business. In this episode, host Laura Davis sits down with Glenn Hamer, CEO of the Texas Association of Business, to explore the vital role Texas plays in driving international trade across North America.

Glenn shares insights into the Texas Leads Trade Coalition, a growing alliance of over 35 stakeholders working to support trilateral trade between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Together, they discuss how Texas has maintained its status as the nation’s top exporting state, the industries most impacted by global trade, and the jobs directly supported by international partnerships.

From policy challenges like tariffs and infrastructure hurdles to success stories of businesses overcoming trade obstacles, Glenn highlights the importance of strong advocacy to keep Texas competitive on the global stage. He also offers a look ahead at legislative priorities, upcoming USMCA discussions, and how everyday Texans can support pro-trade policies.

Join Laura Davis, Co-Founder of USLege, for an in-depth conversation on the future of trade, economic growth, and Texas' leadership in shaping North America's economic success.
