In the 2020 election season, redistricting is the biggest prize in Texas politics. The lawmakers elected to office this November will have outsized influence over the all-important redistricting process in the 2021 legislative session. Democrats are working to usher in a “blue wave” of influence in Austin, particularly when it comes to the redrawing of district maps for the next decade. 

During the 85th Session of the Texas Legislature, TAB has been at the forefront of the fight over the so-called “bathroom bill.” This bill would require people to use the bathroom designated for the gender of their birth, and has caused a struggle between liberal Democrats and conservative lawmakers, including Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. TAB has opposed the bill, asserting it would cause economic harm to Texas businesses.
