Next meeting

The next monthly meeting of BARW will be held on Wednesday, May 23rd, at BAY OAKS COUNTRY CLUB, 14545 Bay Oaks Blvd. The guest speaker will be Michael Quinn Sullivan, President of Empower Texans.

Social will begin at 11 a.m., followed by the meeting at 11:30 a.m. Lunch will be $15, payable at the door. As always, please RSVP to barw.rsvp@gmail.com.

Michael Quinn Sullivan is president and CEO of Empower Texans, and its premier project, Texans for Fiscal Responsibility.

The Fort Worth Star Telegram has said Sullivan “slays taxpayer dragons in Austin… When the heat is on in Austin, Michael Quinn Sullivan knows how to make it even hotter.” The Dallas Morning News has called him an "agitator, whose name has been invoked — both in earnest and with scorn — in both chambers" of the legislature.

Texas Monthly has named Sullivan one of the 25 most influential people working in Texas politics. The article dubbed him "the enforcer" for his ability to motivate grassroots voters. The national political magazine "Campaigns & Elections" listed him as one of the state's most influential political figures.

A graduate of Texas A&M University, Sullivan has worked as a reporter for two daily Texas newspapers, and served as press secretary to a Member of Congress. He has also trained conservative and libertarian leaders on effective communications strategies.

He spent five years with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, where he served as vice president, before being tapped to lead Empower Texans.

Sullivan's commentaries have appeared in newspapers and magazines around the state and nation. He is a frequent guest on talk radio programs, and regularly called upon to address policy and political issues before groups across the country.

He lives in Austin with his wife and children. An Eagle Scout, he is active in various civic organizations.
