“The party can’t afford to continue to make the same mistakes of the past and not invest in our Latino candidates and Latino voters,” the group wrote to DGA Chair Andy Beshear
A group of prominent Latino leaders is asking the Democratic Governors Association
to invest in Rep. Gina Hinjosa’s bid to topple Gov. Greg Abbott
this fall – a bid that seemed like more of a longshot before poll after poll has
shown her within striking distance of becoming the first Democrat elected to
the governor’s mansion in a generation.
A victory in
November would also make Hinojosa the first Latina elected as Texas’ chief
executive officer, noted the group of Latino leaders mostly from around here. The
GOP gains made among Latino voters in Texas over the last decade did not happen
without serious investments from Republicans, especially by Gov. Abbott in the
Rio Grande Valley since 2014.

A new boss at the Texas Association of Business, new lobby ventures, staffer moves, and a notable retirement from the Capitol
There’s no
calm before the storm.
Of course,
Labor Day Weekend usually serves as the unofficial start of the campaign season
in even numbered years. Republican US Senate nominee Ken Paxton seems to
be the only major candidate who’s honored that tradition this year. He’s
started barnstorming the state after our sources in Houston told us that President
Donald Trump last week at a fundraiser told Paxton
“get your ass out there on the campaign trail!”
That’s
after Democratic nominees James Talarico and Gina Hinojosa have already
been crisscrossing Texas for months in their campaigns. It’s also after
Talarico already spent millions on positive TV commercials introducing himself
and has now shifted to negative attack ads against Paxton this past week.
On the Quorum
Report Radio podcast – dropping later today on your favorite podcast
app – we’ll take an in-depth look at how Paxton’s doing as the standard bearer
for Texas Republicans. It’s quite a debate among Republicans. The links to follow
the show on Apple Podcasts and Spotify are on the QR
homepage.
Meantime, there
are some huge career moves to tell you about. People on the Move returns today with news about the new boss at the Texas
Association of Business, agency news, new lobby ventures, a notable retirement,
and more. When you want to see your career news in the pages of Quorum Report,
it’s easy: Send the scoop to ksbraddock@gmail.com
and use POTM in the subject line.
Please and
thank you so much.
Here’s the

After Talarico went up with TV ads this weekend calling Paxton "the most corrupt politician in Texas," the Super PAC backing Paxton is hitting Talarico for being “weak on China”
The deets via Politico:
Allies of
Texas GOP Senate hopeful Ken Paxton are planning a $15 million ad campaign
starting Tuesday, the first major ad buy on behalf of Paxton in his
battleground matchup with Democrat James Talarico. Two new ads from Lone Star
Liberty PAC, the pro-Paxton super PAC, will air across 18 markets across Texas
over the ensuing two weeks. They mark Paxton’s first significant foray on to
the airwaves, jolting a campaign that has been clouded by concerns over
Talarico’s massive cash advantage and Paxton’s electability.
One of the
new ads will lean into Paxton’s record as attorney general, highlighting Texas’
recent agreement with Kellogg’s to remove certain food dyes from cereals and
the state’s billion-dollar settlements with Meta and Google over privacy and
safety concerns…The other new advertisement accuses Talarico of aiding China’s
growth at the expense of Texas residents, pointing to the Democrat’s vote
against restrictions on Chinese investments, and argues that a Chinese
billionaire’s ownership of land near Laughlin Air Force Base presents national
security concerns. “China’s got Talarico. Texas needs
Ken Paxton,” the ad says.
