People on the Move

Appointments, campaign leadership, agency news, and more

It’s finally arrived.

The last People on the Move of 2025 is hittin’ your inbox this afternoon just as so many of you have already checked out for the year and others are cramming in the last bit of work so that you can take a well-deserved break for the next two weeks.

Y’all know by now that at Quorum Report, our team will continue to monitor the news and give you a heads up if something significant comes across my desk at Buzz Central. But holiday mode also means less frequent updates before we ramp up again in early January as the campaigns hit their stride across Texas ahead of the March primary. Make sure your QR subscriptions are current and that you’re following Quorum Report Radio on your favorite podcast app. The links for all that are on the Quorum Report homepage, of course.

You are also well aware by now that People on the Move is the most efficient way to spread the news about your new gig – or the career news of a friend or foe – so make sure to send the scoop anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com. If you use POTM in the subject line, it helps me keep it all straight in my inbox.

Thanks so much for another year of your business. Here’s the latest edition:

Former Rep. Mayra Flores lashes out at President Trump after he endorsed her primary opponent Eric Flores in The Valley

The former Congresswoman said "First, President Trump pardoned Democrat Henry Cuellar, and now he is endorsing a Biden DOJ appointee pretending to be MAGA. South Texas isn’t fooled as easily - and our campaign will stay focused on kitchen table issues and the many needs of the American people, not the political establishment in DC. We are unstoppable."
