People on the Move

Staffer moves, lobby changes, appointments, and more

Do we still have almost an entire month to go before the runoffs are complete in Texas? Well, yeah pretty much.

These things go on forever. It appears Gov. Greg Abbott just reserved more than a million in TV ads spread across several Texas House districts while incumbent Republicans are making what may be their final stands on what in many cases look like shoestring budgets. I’ll get ready to head out across Texas to check out what’s happening in key districts over the next few weeks.

Speaking of the runoffs, the latest Texas Take podcast will drop here later this afternoon as Jeremy Wallace and I break down some of the legislative minutiae being used as campaign fodder. Depending on your browser, you may have to right click that link and open it in a new tab. The degree to which challengers and their supporters are down in the weeds of House process really does tell you just how narrow the audience is in a primary runoff slated for the end of May.

Meantime, there are a few significant career moves to tell you about in and out of the building. And to answer a question from a few of you: People on the Move is not necessarily published every Friday afternoon. There are times when we take a break from POTM but if you submit an item to be featured in this article, it will show up in the next edition after you send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com. If you use POTM in the subject line, that helps me keep track. Thanks very much.

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