“Kay Bailey Hutchison” is a household name for multiple generations of Texans. Between her 20-year tenure as a U.S. senator from Texas and her time as U.S. ambassador to NATO, just about everyone knows of her.
And while Hutchison has seen a lot in her career, she’s keeping a close eye on the situation in Ukraine, which seems to be going from bad to worse. What’s her take on the war in Ukraine, the future of NATO and the United States’ place in it all?
Hear her speak on all this and more when you join The Texas Tribune at 4 p.m. Central on Wednesday, April 6, for a timely conversation with former NATO ambassador Kay Bailey Hutchison.
