People on the Move

Staffer moves, lobby hires, and a significant retirement all top POTM this week

Things are beginning to pick up again as the runoff elections play out across the state. More nasty TV ads are running against Speaker Dade Phelan and the other Republican incumbents in their districts as some of their colleagues rally support for members like Rep. John Kuempel down in Seguin.

A few challengers are getting way ahead of themselves by signing onto a proposed set of restrictions for how the Texas House speaker is elected. It looks like only 5 members signed, followed by some folks who won their party nominations followed by some who are in runoffs. We’ll see how they do.

Meantime, there are a few significant career moves to pass along to you this week. You can always let the entire Texas Capitol community know what’s up by sending the scoop to ksbraddock@gmail.com. Please use POTM in the subject line. Thank you so much.

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