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.\nSweet Tea Socials: https://linktr.ee/sweetteaseries","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ckzn-OfT00l4LOgJIkT0mHzz-HhFpPyarCr0m4GZ8FY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mZDEx/N2M4YTg3ZmE3YmNk/NTFlOWRlNmUxNjVm/YTVlZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
