Pres Says: Breaking From The Gate

JANUARY 2026


As we move into the new year, the FTBOA is officially breaking from the gate. The groundwork laid over the past several months has transitioned into action as the 2026 legislative session gets underway. This is the phase of the race where preparation turns into execution—and where clarity, patience and coordination matter most.
