Lobby hires, staffer moves, big awards and more
Another
week on the road is in the books. It was nice to see so many of your smiling
faces during the AECT retreat a couple days ago as well as the Linebarger
annual event in Houston last evening. Ross Ramsey and Sen. Paul Bettencourt
made guest appearances as well in addition to many others.
And Uncle
Paul keeps on doing his impersonation of President Trump everywhere he goes.
Meantime,
back in Austin there’s significant career news to share. When you or a friend –
or foe – make a move, the Texas Capitol community will all want to know. And
the most efficient way to disseminate the info is in the pages of Quorum
Report’s People on the Move. Funny, when I say POTM on social media,
the outsiders still don’t know what I’m talking about. But if you use “POTM” in
the subject line of your email, that helps me keep it all straight.
Here’s the
latest edition.

Lt. Gov. Patrick goes all in for Wambsganss with accusations her GOP opponent’s campaign is “satanic” while the Democrat in the race hopes to bank on Republican infighting to attract independents
FORT WORTH
– In the battle over filling the Senate District 9 seat in
Tarrant County, it’s about one type of Southlake Republican versus another.
In a race
that kind of runs like a jungle primary are former Southlake mayor John
Huffman, Patriot Mobile Chief Communications Officer Leigh
Wambsganss, also of Southlake, and Democrat and union president Taylor
Rehmet of Fort Worth.
The battle
has focused on the Republicans, with Wambsganss ratcheting up her campaign
recently by bringing in big names like Steve Bannon, who spoke at an
event for her this week, and reminding potential voters she is backed, like
much of the state’s Republican officeholders, by President Donald Trump.
But if
turnout and recent elections say anything, she’s not necessarily a shoo- in.

On Texas Capital Tonight, Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg also talked with host James Barragan that Rep. Gina Hinojosa probably starts as a Democratic primary frontrunner for the gubernatorial nomination but of course she or any other would face an incumbent with $100 million in the bank to beat back any challenger.

Patrick said the attack against the Patriot Mobile exec he supports for Senate in Tarrant County is “satanic”; retiring Speaker Phelan points out that he offered legislation this year to require a disclosure to let voters know an image used in a campaign is fake
Editor’s
note: Lt. Gov. Patrick’s online rant placing blame for the image at the feet of
candidate John Huffman appears to be misleading. That changes the story a bit,
so this article has been updated throughout – SB
Lt. Gov. Dan
Patrick on Monday railed against what he called the "despicable and
disgraceful" altering of an image of his preferred candidate to succeed
former Sen. Kelly Hancock in North Texas – the kind of manipulation that
could have been addressed by legislation he killed in the Texas Senate
earlier this year. A bill to crack down on those fake images was carried in the
Texas House by former Speaker Dade Phelan, who Patrick
hates.
The image
of Leigh Wambsganss, who’s endorsed by Patrick running in Senate
District 9, was apparently changed to invert the crucifix she wears on
her necklace. At least that was the accusation from Patrick ,who
also blamed GOP candidate John Huffman for the image even though it
appears to have been promoted by a third-party group.
Nevertheless,
Patrick went so far as to say “this attack by her
opponent, John Huffman, is satanic.”
