People on the Move
Some top staffer moves, lobby heavy hitters, and party news
SAN
ANTONIO – Good afternoon from the Alamo City, the site of the annual Mexican
American Legislative Caucus Golf Classic teeing off today. I will not
be out in the 100-degree heat but it’s wonderful to see so many friends here and
congrats to MALC Chairman Ramon Romero on a successful event. Thanks for all the gossip at the bars here and in San Angelo last week
at the West Texas Legislative Summit.
Programming
note: We’re taking the week off from Quorum Report Radio
but we’ll be back next Friday. If you haven’t caught up on all the episodes,
the links to follow the show are on the QR homepage.
Meantime
it’s a true week of heavy hitters in People on the Move. POTM is,
of course, the quickest and most efficient way to let the Texas Capitol
community know about your career news. You can also brag about a friend or tell
on an adversary by sending the scoop to ksbraddock@gmail.com anytime. If you use POTM in the
subject line, it helps me keep it all straight in my cluttered inbox.
Please and
thank you so much.
Here’s the
latest edition.
