September 21, 2018 12:28 PM People on the MoveA new senator, a major retirement, new hires at lobby shops, and more Well,
the first person on the move this week has to be Senator
elect Pete Flores, a mild-mannered
conservative retired game warden who made national headlines by winning his
seat in South Texas’ special election Tuesday. Welcome to the Texas
Legislature, sir. It’s the best show in town and your chance to make a
difference for real people. One
observer quipped “With 21 Republican senators, can the Texas Senate go back to
the two-thirds rule now? Kidding, of course.” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick pushed in all his chips on a longshot and won big. Now, he’s got as many as three GOP seats to defend in the
fall. As Democrats not named Pete
Gallego or Christian Archer will
tell you, it’s not as if the minority party put up much of a fight in Senate
District 19. Apparently “Vote for Pete” wasn’t the optimal message in
this race. Meantime,
some big career news to pass along this week in the lobby. The Quorum
Report audience loves nothing better than to gossip about each other,
so feel free to send along career news about you or yourself anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com and put POTM in the
subject line. Thanks for all your submissions this week. Here’s
Texas’ weekly edition of People on the Move:
