People on the Move

Leadership change at LCRA, a cool appointment, and empowering women through Pink Granite in Austin

It’s spring break across Texas but you might not be able to tell that based on the AI slop being slung by campaigns ramping up for runoffs in which a Presidential pardon – I mean, endorsement – is supposed to be coming any day now. The suspense is decidedly not killing me when it comes to that.

The Quorum Report Radio podcast will return next week after spring has sprung and most of you will be more tuned in. I know quite a few of our readers and listeners have been dealing with kids at home this week. Others are out of town enjoying yourselves. To get the show on your phone automatically when it returns, make sure you’re following it on your favorite podcast app. The links to follow on Apple and Spotify are on the QR homepage.

Meantime there are a few career notes to pass along including a veteran of Texas government making a change and a longtime lobbyist gaining a new role at a university. If you’ve got career news to share with the entire Texas Capitol community, the most efficient way is to send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the subject line. Please and thank you.

Here’s the latest edition of People on the Move.

After sexual abuse allegations surfaced, Mexican American Legislative Caucus to push for renaming Cesar Chavez holiday in Texas

After this New York Times investigation of the late Cesár Chávez sent shockwaves through the Latino community, the Mexican American Legislative Caucus Executive Committee said:

“These allegations are deeply disturbing, and our first concern is with the women who have come forward, including Dolores Huerta, who we have long respected. It takes real courage to speak out, especially when so many felt they had to stay silent for decades. No one, regardless of their status or legacy, is above accountability. When a leader puts himself ahead of the people and the movement he was meant to serve, that is a profound betrayal of the very values that movement was built on. We stand with survivors and support a full and transparent reckoning. How we choose to honor people should reflect our values, and we are prepared to lead efforts to remove the Cesár Chávez state holiday and replace it with recognition that uplift leaders like Dolores Huerta.”

Reversing course after a disastrous election, Dallas County GOP Chair West agrees to return to countywide voting for runoff

“There comes a time to know when to claim success and not go a bridge too far,” Chair West said

DALLAS – After a disastrous election day following the Dallas County Republican Party’s refusal to participate in countywide voting – forcing voters from each party to different locations and leading thousands of voters confused and intervention from a district court and the Texas Supreme Court – the party’s chairman agreed to return to countywide voting for the May runoff.
