Welcome to Episode #31 of Bills & Business. In this episode, Laura Davis sits down with Ben Brewer, CTO of USLege, to explore how AI and engineering are transforming the legislative space, and why that might actually make us more human, not less.  

Ben shares the origin story of USLege, including how a chance match through Y Combinator led to a powerful collaboration between tech and policy. He breaks down what engineering really means in the context of building a platform for legislative work and highlights how smart systems, when used right, can enhance (not replace) human decision-making.  

From demystifying AI for lobbyists and staffers to explaining the role of AI agents in streamlining complex workflows, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the real potential of tech in the public sector. Ben also discusses the importance of human strategy in advocacy, and how the best lobbyists in 2025 will be those who know how to use AI as a tool, not fear it.  

Join Laura Davis, Co-Founder of USLege, for a dynamic conversation about the legislative and business priorities that are shaping Texas today and tomorrow.
