Tech leaders have all the skills for politics. Still, most don't want to run.

USA TODAY reporter Terry Collins speaks with Austin-based tech leaders in this article.This excerpt highlights ClearBlade Co-Founder & CTO Aaron Allsbrook's point of view:

Lawmakers are "behind the curve on the pace of innovation," said Aaron Allsbrook, Co-Founder and CTO of ClearBlade, an Austin-based startup connecting devices across multiple industries utilizing IoT technology (like that smart fridge for your kitchen). Allsbrook said he's more interested in being a "change agent" by joining advisory boards versus politics. "I feel like I can make a bigger impact here than in politics," Allsbrook said. "If you were to ask me what drove me to engineering, it's simple. I like to build and deliver."
