## Resource

In this first "inside the vault episode", hosts Rob and Chuck sit down with Trent Ashby in the "Vault of Purpose." Trent shares his East Texas dairy farm upbringing, strong faith, family life, and the lessons of discipline that shaped him. He talks about his path from agriculture and banking to public service — from school board to state representative — and explains his decision to run for the Texas Senate. Trent also discusses constituent work, legislative priorities, and a law he helped pass to protect children. The conversation highlights his values-driven leadership, commitment to public safety, and priorities for Southeast and East Texas as he campaigns for the State Senate.
