Anthony]] List, a [[pro-life]] political action committee. He is also the vice chairman of the United Jewish Communities. Though he is himself [[Jewish]], Polland has worked closely with the conservative [[Christianity|Christian]] community within Harris County on political matters.

Polland has been honored by the Republican National Hispanic Assembly and the National Federation of Pachyderm Clubs. He was designated "Reaganite of the Year" by the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] Alumni Association. He is the author of ''A Time for Choosing 35 Years Later,'' an update of Reagan's classic speech from October 27, 1964. Esther Slipakoff Polland (born c. 1950) tells the story of her husband's infatuation with Reagan. At the age of fourteen, Polland heard the speech that Reagan delivered on behalf of the Republican presidential nominee, U.S. Senator [[Barry Goldwater]] of [[Arizona]]. She said that Polland often played Reagan tapes in the early 1970s, long before it was clear that Reagan might become president at some point in the future.

Polland is active in the interest group, Citizens Lowering Our Unfair Taxes (CLOUT), which seeks [[property tax]] relief in Texas. CLOUT finds that "appraisal creep" has hit Texas homeowners as hard as those in the Northeast, his native [[Illinois]], and in [[Wisconsin]].
