In her quest to vacate Greg Abbott from the governor’s mansion, Dem candidate Gina Hinojosa has crisscrossed Texas to stump for her vision of what responsible and responsive governance looks like. In September, she’ll add another stop essential to any serious Texas politician’s campaign trail – a speaker slot at TribFest.
The annual conference spearheaded by nonprofit news outlet the Texas Tribune invites politicos, wonks, journalists, and advocates of all political persuasions to gather in Downtown Austin and chew over the state of the things. This year’s newly released full lineup adds plenty of bold-faced names to the politics and policy gathering, including:
- Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Georgia)
- Former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia)
- Labor activist Dolores Huerta
- Maggie Haberman, New York Times reporter and co-author of Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump
- Ibram X. Kendi, anti-racism activist and author of Chain of Ideas: The Origins of Our Authoritarian Age
- Former White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove
- Imani Perry, educator and author of Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People
- Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt
The Texas Tribune Festival, presented by JPMorganChase, takes place in Downtown Austin, September 24–26. See full list of speakers and badge information at tribfest.org…
