Safeguarding the Lone Star State.
The need to protect and ensure Texas’ longer-term security and survival is critical.
Given Texas’ geography, coupled with strong economic growth, critical industries and emphasis on the safety and security, the State is paving the way in terms of ensuring that the interests of all Americans are prioritized.
The Texas National Security Caucus aims to continue this success, while honing in on and supporting critical policy areas of importance to Texans.
We bring together the brightest minds in policy and public service to address the unique challenges facing our state in an increasingly complex global landscape.
As a bipartisan, bicameral legislative coalition, we are dedicated to advancing policies that ensure the sovereignty, security, and economic resilience of Texas.
