People on the Move

Lobby hires, staffer moves, big awards and more

Another week on the road is in the books. It was nice to see so many of your smiling faces during the AECT retreat a couple days ago as well as the Linebarger annual event in Houston last evening. Ross Ramsey and Sen. Paul Bettencourt made guest appearances as well in addition to many others.

And Uncle Paul keeps on doing his impersonation of President Trump everywhere he goes.

Meantime, back in Austin there’s significant career news to share. When you or a friend – or foe – make a move, the Texas Capitol community will all want to know. And the most efficient way to disseminate the info is in the pages of Quorum Report’s People on the Move. Funny, when I say POTM on social media, the outsiders still don’t know what I’m talking about. But if you use “POTM” in the subject line of your email, that helps me keep it all straight.

Here’s the latest edition.

Tarrant County special election showdown over Senate seat vacated by Hancock coming down to the wire

Lt. Gov. Patrick goes all in for Wambsganss with accusations her GOP opponent’s campaign is “satanic” while the Democrat in the race hopes to bank on Republican infighting to attract independents

FORT WORTH – In the battle over filling the Senate District 9 seat in Tarrant County, it’s about one type of Southlake Republican versus another.

In a race that kind of runs like a jungle primary are former Southlake mayor John Huffman, Patriot Mobile Chief Communications Officer Leigh Wambsganss, also of Southlake, and Democrat and union president Taylor Rehmet of Fort Worth.

The battle has focused on the Republicans, with Wambsganss ratcheting up her campaign recently by bringing in big names like Steve Bannon, who spoke at an event for her this week, and reminding potential voters she is backed, like much of the state’s Republican officeholders, by President Donald Trump.

But if turnout and recent elections say anything, she’s not necessarily a shoo- in.

Kronberg says Abbott debases the Office of the Governor with attempts at intimidating peaceful protesters

On Texas Capital Tonight, Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg also talked with host James Barragan that Rep. Gina Hinojosa probably starts as a Democratic primary frontrunner for the gubernatorial nomination but of course she or any other would face an incumbent with $100 million in the bank to beat back any challenger.
