Welcome to Episode #28 of Bills & Business. In this episode, Laura Carr, Co-Founder of USLege, sits down with Konni Burton—former Texas State Senator, grassroots advocate, and founder of The Texan.
Konni shares her journey from growing up in South Texas, launching a business, and stepping into the political arena to advocate for limited government, individual liberties, and fiscal responsibility. She opens up about her transition from activism to public office, her battles against taxpayer-funded lobbying and corporate welfare, and her efforts in criminal justice reform.
After leaving the Senate, Konni founded The Texan to deliver straight, factual news coverage, offering a fresh take on political journalism in Texas. She also discusses the future of conservative values, government transparency, and her outlook on Texas politics today.
Join Laura Carr for an insightful conversation on leadership, advocacy, and innovation in both government and media.
