The public can provide input as Texas develops a broadband development plan and expands high-speed internet access, which is crucial for many older Texans.
In honor of Black History Month, AARP Texas reached out to a few state and federal lawmakers to share their stories about why they decided to run for office, their priorities, and what Texans aged 50-plus can do to get involved in politics.
Two Central Texas-based reporters -- Avery Travis and Mose Buchele -- are being recognized by AARP Texas for producing impactful journalism projects that address the interests and needs of older Texans and their families.
