Adversaries of Texas and America shouldn’t wield power within the United States – power that is used against us. And yet, groups with a foreign terrorist designation have spread of influence throughout our political process, public institutions, and education systems.
How deep does the infiltration go? How many of our institutions are under the influence of people with a hostile attitude for our state and country? Join us at TPPF for an in-person event where we’ll unpack those questions and give answers about how groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have been wielding soft power to shape public opinion, redirect policy priorities, and weakening core American and Western values.
Join Texas legislative leaders along with international expert on Islamist Extremism, Sam Westrop. Sam is the Director of Middle East Forum’s counter-extremism project and has headed Islamist Watch since March 2017. Before that, he ran Stand for Peace, a London-based counter-extremism organization. He the nation’s foremost expert on the radical network of Islamic radicals expanding across the Texas seeking to infiltrate our education system, higher education and government with the objective to weaponize and exploit western values of free speech, capitalism and our generous safety nets to advance their ultimate goal of instilling the Caliphate in Texas and implementing Sharia Law.
Complimentary lunch will be provided for in-person attendees, and you are also welcome to register for a livestream ticket and tune in online.

The Lake Travis Republican Club invites you to join us for our March Luncheon on Tuesday, March 17, featuring special guest Chairman Jim Wright of the Texas Railroad Commission.
Chairman Wright is a fifth-generation Texas rancher and lifelong South Texan who has spent decades working in the energy sector. Since his election to the Railroad Commission in 2020, he has focused on maintaining a fair and consistent regulatory environment that supports innovation while protecting the long-term strength of Texas’ energy industry.
During his time at the Commission, Chairman Wright has championed solution-oriented leadership, encouraging collaboration between regulators, industry leaders, and the public to ensure Texas remains a global energy powerhouse. He understands the vital role energy plays in the Texas economy and has emphasized the importance of expanding access to global markets while preparing for the future of energy production.
Chairman Wright has also worked to ensure the Commission is proactive in addressing emerging issues such as water and carbon management, geothermal energy, and hydrogen production and storage, recognizing that the energy industry of tomorrow will look very different from today.
Before his service on the Railroad Commission, Wright began working in the energy industry at just 19 years old, eventually building a successful group of environmental management companies serving the sector. In addition to his professional career, he spent more than two decades as a rodeo bull rider and remains a devoted family man, living in Orange Grove with his wife, Sherry, and their five children.
This will be an engaging discussion about Texas energy policy, economic growth, and the future of the industry that powers our state. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear directly from one of Texas’ key energy leaders.
