Shape Texas: AI-Driven Legislative Leadership

September 08, 20253 min read

ARLINGTON, TX — This fall, Texas takes a bold step into the future of governance and civic engagement. Two groundbreaking initiatives—Stand Up, Speak Up, Shape Texas Youth Policy Debate and the Texas Legislator Advantage Program—are set to redefine how Texans understand, analyze, and lead on policy. Both are powered by Policy Sage, the state’s first AI-driven legislative intelligence platform.

Why Texas Needs This Now

Supporting Legislators Across Texas

Every legislative session in Texas brings 8,700+ bills and millions of words of policy text. For lawmakers and their small staffs, the flood is unmanageable. Missed amendments, delayed responses, and hidden fiscal impacts cost communities, schools, and businesses time, money, and opportunities. Nationwide, outdated policy tracking drains $2.2B+ annually—and Texans are carrying that burden.

Enter the Texas Legislator Advantage Program: Our AI-powered platform offers every Texas legislator complimentary access to instant, in-depth legislative analysis. Born and built in Texas, Policy Sage's transformative technology decodes the complexity of millions of words across thousands of pages—unearthing opportunities, risks, and data-driven insights faster than ever before.

“For the first time, lawmakers from every district and every party can engage with legislative data on their own terms and timelines,” said Xavier Egan, CEO of Policy Sage. “Our platform empowers offices to navigate the legislative maze confidently and act decisively—because facts matter more than politics.”

Shaping the Next Generation: On October 18, the “Stand Up, Speak Up, Shape Texas” Youth Policy

Stand Up, Speak Up, Shape Texas

Debate brings high school students, educators, and policy experts together at the University of Texas at Arlington for a day of research, dialogue, and spirited debate—equipped with the very tools trusted by their elected officials.

Hosted by Texas State Board of Education member Dr. Tiffany Clark, the event fosters critical thinking, public speaking, and civic engagement among students grades 6-12, providing a hands-on experience with AI-powered policy analysis that transforms abstract legislation into tangible debate.

“Policy Sage is bridging the gap between data and decision-making,” said Dr. Tiffany Clark, Texas SBOE District 13 member and event partner. “This isn’t about politics—it’s about giving leaders and citizens the tools to keep Texas strong.”

A Model for Texas and Beyond
In a state known for bold leadership and innovation, these collaborative efforts create a unique bridge between government transparency, technology advancement, and community involvement. Policy Sage welcomes legislators, business leaders, educators, and community advocates to play an active role in advancing a smarter, more transparent, and empowered future for Texas.

“Policy Sage is our answer to the complex realities of modern governance—backed by powerful AI and powered by Texas pride,” said Bill Huang, Chief Technology Officer at Policy Sage.
