People on the Move

Think tank changes, campaign veterans, and more

Nerves are fraying, emotionally draining debates are unfolding here in mid-April, and yet somehow there are quite a few political professionals who just this week are making their very first office visits of the legislative session. COVID-19 fears are diminishing now as vaccines are becoming more evenly distributed throughout the community. But some restrictions on movement in the Texas Capitol complex remain nearly as strict as when the protests of last summer were still raging in the streets.

We’ve managed to go from a legislative session that was laser-focused on coronavirus and the ice storm to a red meat free for all. Jeremy Wallace and I delved into that on this week’s podcast.

Meantime, career news has been a little harder to come by the last couple weeks. Most folks in the Capitol are now settled into their roles for at least the next six weeks as we head toward sine die. People will start moving around again after that, you would expect. If you do have career news to share, though, feel free to send it anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com. Please use POTM in the subject line. The Capitol community is always interested.

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