While hiking in Texas state parks, Abby noticed that many souvenirs were made overseas, sparking the idea for House Bill 3088, which prioritizes Texas-made and American-made products in state park stores. Abby shares her journey from a casual hike to working with legislators, navigating the legislative process, and seeing her idea become law with unanimous bipartisan support. As a member of the Liberty Leadership Council, Abby also discusses how ordinary citizens can engage in policy, the importance of community, and her life as a mom raising patriotic young Americans. Tune in to learn how one person’s idea can make a difference, the power of local engagement, and why slow, thoughtful governance is a Texas tradition.
