Episode 78 of Rock Solid: Round Rock Business Leaders Podcast, titled Caroline Harris Davila | From Round Rock Kid to State Representative, hosted by Bryan Eisenberg, brings listeners an unusually personal conversation with one of the youngest members of the Texas House. Aired on June 16, 2026, the episode presents Rep. Caroline Harris Davila as a neighbor who overcame financial and personal challenges to become Round Rock's voice.

The conversation moves quickly past politics and into the texture of civic life in Round Rock. Listeners can expect specific threads on:

• Growing up as a pastor's kid alongside Mark Westerfield of Central Baptist Church and the faith-based service that shaped her worldview
• The mechanics of a part-time Texas legislature that pays $600 a month and convenes 140 days every other year
• Housing affordability, trade school pathways like TSTC in Hutto, and keeping young talent in Central Texas
• How nonprofits, including Will Williams' work distributing power wheelchairs to veterans, plug into her office

Harris Davila is candid about the gap between her public confidence and how she started. She tells Eisenberg she was not good at public speaking, the campaign side was foreign even after seven years working at the Capitol, and the leap felt impossible.

She credits her parents, her grandparents (still living next door at 90 and 95), and her faith for pushing her past it.

The episode digs into the daily reality of constituent service that rarely makes headlines. Harris Davila says the most common request her office handles is help securing a driver license appointment, but the range stretches to extraordinary cases, including a family that needed help streamlining an autopsy for a loved one. She notes that Over 95% of Texas House initiatives are bipartisan, a surprising statistic for those familiar with national politics. She also describes her role as a connector, linking constituents to nonprofits, sponsoring silent auction items, arranging flags flown over the Capitol, and recruiting young people nationally to run for local office through a group she works with on candidate development.

Produced by Round Rock Studio and hosted by bestselling author and keynote speaker Bryan Eisenberg, Rock Solid spotlights the entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and civic leaders building one of Central Texas's fastest-growing communities. From startups to longtime institutions, each conversation captures the people and stories behind Round Rock's neighbor-helping-neighbor culture.
