People on the Move

New lobby gigs, association news, advocacy, and a well-deserved recognition of a Texas icon

This is about the time that grizzled veterans of Texas campaigns start to say things like “well, this one’s basically over.”

Not quite yet but it’s true the 30-day campaign finance reports are due to come out next week – reporter James Russell will have complete coverage, of course – and candidates in competitive or spirited-but-not-necessarily-competitive races are back on the thawed out streets, knocking on doors, and talking with voters to shore up support ahead of March 3.

Here in Austin, some of the names and faces you know all too well announced new career moves this week to tell you about. There’s also a well-deserved recognition coming up stemming from the tragedy of the Hill Country flooding.

When you have career news to share with the Texas Capitol community, it’s become common knowledge that the Texas Capitol community hasn’t really been informed about it until the scoop is in the pages of Quorum Report. But it only works when you let me know what’s happening. Thanks so much for doing so week in and week out. If there’s news to share – it doesn’t have to be yours – send it anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the subject line for the fastest service.

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