Taking on Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying with Sen. Adam Hinojosa | Parent Empowerment with Mandy Drogin

On this episode of Parent Empowerment with Mandy Drogin, filmed live at Texas Policy Summit 2026, Mandy sits down with Texas Senator Adam Hinojosa to discuss one of the biggest government reform battles in Texas: ending taxpayer-funded lobbying. Sen. Hinojosa explains how taxpayer-funded lobbyists use millions of taxpayer dollars to lobby against reforms like: Property tax relief School choice Protecting girls’ sports Keeping boys out of girls’ bathrooms Education reform and accountability Transparency in government spending The conversation exposes how organizations like the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB), Texas Municipal League (TML), and Texas Association of Counties (TAC) influence legislation while using public money to oppose the will of Texas taxpayers. Mandy and Sen. Hinojosa also break down the exploding local government debt crisis, skyrocketing school bond spending, and how taxpayers are being forced to fund lobbying efforts against their own interests. Sen. Hinojosa shares why banning taxpayer-funded lobbying is critical to restoring accountability, protecting families, lowering property taxes, and defending Texas values. If you care about government transparency, education reform, property tax relief, and stopping government waste, this is a must-watch conversation. 👉 Subscribe for more interviews from Texas Policy Summit 2026 and the Texas Public Policy Foundation. #TexasPolitics #AdamHinojosa #TaxpayerFundedLobbying #PropertyTaxes #SchoolChoice #TexasLegislature #MandyDrogin #TexasPolicySummit #GovernmentReform #EducationReform #ConservativePolicy #TPPF
