When and where is the Statesman Reddit AMA?

Meet our Statesman Reddit AMA hosts
I’m John Moritz, the Statesman’s chief politics reporter and one of the senior members of the Texas Capitol Press Corps. I’ve been working in Austin since George W. Bush was governor in the mid-1990s for a handful of news outlets, and for the USA TODAY Network for just over eight years.
I recently wrote an extensive profile of Austin Congressman Lloyd Doggett, the first national Democrat to call on President Joe Biden to end his reelection campaign, which paved the way for Kamala Harris to gain the nomination. And before that, I did a piece on Sen. John Cornyn, the Texan who wants to replace Mitch McConnell as the Senate Republican leader next year. Cornyn is warning his fellow Republicans against isolationism in foreign affairs.
And I’m Bayliss Wagner. I’ve been here for the past year, and in addition to the upcoming election and regular coverage of state courts, lawmakers and officials such as Attorney General Ken Paxton, my focus is the issue of abortion policy and other political, social and cultural divides, including those relating to abortion and LGBTQ+ issues.
I covered the Texas Supreme Court’s decisions in the case of Kate Cox, a Dallas mom of two who was pregnant with a child that doctors said would not live to birth, and Zurawski v. Texas, in which 20 women who had experienced pregnancy complications and two OB-GYNs sued the state over what they alleged was a lack of clarity in abortion ban exceptions. I also wrote recently about how men are speaking up more about abortion rights, including at the Democratic National Convention. Lately I’ve been covering the trial in the “Trump Train” lawsuit.
Where can I ask questions?
Ask John and Bayliss anything you want to know about politics in Texas on the r/TexasPolitics subreddit.
