Civitech Present: A Live Podcast With Democratic State Leaders

We captured a live conversation yesterday at beloved Antone's in downtown Austin as the Democratic National Committee sweats through its 2026 DNC Summer Meeting - stand by for a great talk on how today’s technology can be harnessed to expand voter participation for 2026 and beyond, with Civitech CEO Jeremy Smith, South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Christale Spain, and Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder, moderated by Progress Texas Executive Director Kathleen Thompson.

This live podcast was made possible by Civitech, Hon. Yasmin Simon, Charles Zeller, John Cotter, Valerie DeBill, Dona Tabrizi, Jill van Voorhis, Hon. Zohaib Qadri, David Weinberg, and Hon. Steve Adler and his new book Hot Seat, Hot City, out August 25.
