2 chapters across the catalog

Doc Pete Chambers plans to use the "bully pulpit" and regular "fireside chats" to communicate directly with the people of Texas. He discusses the "391 Commission" as a constitutional tool for counties to work together and stop unwanted state or federal projects. Chambers argues that the Texas Constitution provides numerous avenues for citizen-led governance that are currently being ignored.

Chase Geiser discusses his 15-minute interview with Vivek Ramaswamy, noting that Ramaswamy openly praised Donald Trump's presidency despite running against him. Geiser suggests that Ramaswamy may be using his campaign as a "bully pulpit" to influence policy, similar to Bernie Sanders in 2016. They note that Ramaswamy has surpassed Ron DeSantis in several polls to become the number two Republican candidate.
