People on the Move

Power players, TLR, lobby promotions, a veteran of Austin media begins a national chapter, and lots of congrats are in order

After the first week on the road this year for primaries ramping up across Texas, you can already feel it’s a grind for the candidates in districts from DFW to Houston, San Antonio down to the RGV, and everywhere in between. It’s not the panicked atmosphere of 24 months ago, fer sure. Instead, candidates are doing the daily work of raising money, spending it, and getting out their field operations ahead of March 3, hoping to avoid runoffs where that possibility is in play.

It was cool to see so many of your smiling faces at the Houston Junior League for this week’s GOP AG candidate’s forum. Most of the latest episode of the Quorum Report Radio podcast, which drops tonight, was recorded on the road in H-town this week. And a living legend made a surprise appearance this week. Check out the links to subscribe to the show on the homepage. The podcast continues from the road in the months ahead, coming your way from Dallas-Fort Worth next week and probably San Antonio the week after. Stay tuned.

Meantime, back in Austin there are some significant hires and promotions to tell you about. Plus, some of our friends were honored in various ways that deserve big congratulations.

When you’ve got – or you hear about – career news at the Texas Capitol, send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com anytime and use POTM in the subject line. That way it all stays where I need it to be in my inbox.

Thanks so much and here’s the latest edition.
