The Quorum is a non-partisan newsletter focusing on Texas politics and government. Founded in 1983, QR is Texas' oldest political newsletter. Former editors for Quorum Report include Tim Richardson, Scott Bennett and Hilary Hylton.

In recent years, The Quorum Report has pioneered the power of the Internet to evolve into a multi-dimensional news, information and gossip source for the politically involved. Published online most days, the newsletter combines fast breaking news along with institutional memory and a healthy skepticism as befits a publication whose subscribers include most of Texas elected officials, most of the lobby as well as most law firms with a legislative practice.

Currently, the publication includes the Daily Buzz, News Clips, the R&D Department and a Calendar of Political Events.

The Daily Buzz is exactly what it sounds like -- a mix of news and analysis that has the political community buzzing that day. The Buzz is roughly 50% free and 50% password protected for subscribers.

The News Clips is best described as the thirty or so news stories that political players NEED to see each day. Combed from state and national publications, the News Clips provide a convenient executive summary of the day's news stories. Subscribers can hit the link and be taken directly to the story itself.

The R&D Department features regular columnists including Royal Masset, Edd O'Donnell, Duggan Flanakin and Ed Sills. Each writes from their own unique perspective in Texas politics. In addition, you will find guest columns in the R&D Department as well as the occasional document that deserves complete reprinting.

Editorial cartoonist Richard Bartholomew engages, infuriates and entertains with his regular Monday pieces.

The Calendar is a listing of dates and events of interest to the political community.

Writer, editor, publisher and chief bottle washer Harvey Kronberg has been covering Texas politics since 1989. He also serves as political commentator for News 8 Austin -- a 24 hour news channel serving central Texas. He has been cited in publications as diverse as The Congressional Quarterly, The Wall Street Journal, The Dallas Morning News, The Houston Chronicle, The Christian Science Monitor and more.

Former Lt. Governor Bob Bullock called editor Kronberg "the Capitol's most astute observer."
