State Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, is taking over as the Texas House Democratic Caucus chair in the aftermath of his party’s bruising election cycle.
Join The Texas Tribune at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21, in Austin or online when Texas Tribune politics reporter Jasper Scherer sits down with Wu to discuss his party's priorities for 2025 and how he'll navigate a legislative session in which hardline Republicans tightened their grip on political power in the state.
Doors open at 7:30 a.m. at the Tribune’s Studio 919, 919 Congress Ave., Sixth Floor, in Austin, and the hourlong conversation will begin at 8 a.m.

Why you can rely on the Tribune during this legislative session
I hope this article helped you feel more informed about your state. At The Texas Tribune, we believe democracy only works if Texans understand what's happening in their Capitol and other halls of power. That's why I want to ask for your support ahead of the legislative session starting Tuesday.
Donations of any amount help our journalists cover state politicians, but a monthly or yearly gift makes the most impact, allowing us to invest in crucial in-depth journalism. You can rely on the Tribune to explain to Texans what’s being voted on under the pink dome in the coming weeks.
