People on the Move

Staffer moves, university news, party politics, and more

You know, it really was one of the smallest Republican Party of Texas conventions any of us can remember. When Mr. Kronberg walked into the convention hall last Friday, he quipped that the attendance was “like a Texas Democratic Party convention. Sparse.”

As we reported Sunday, one of the major takeaways was that despite all the calls from party leadership for “unity,” senior Republicans including Sen. John Cornyn and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick continue to feud. “Patrick is worried about losing in November,” Cornyn said, adding “He should be.”

For those of you who didn’t attend but have a morbid curiosity about it, we’ll take you inside the convention on the latest edition of the Quorum Report Radio podcast dropping later today. That, plus a trip to the RGV is in store as we figure out what the “Mexican tune” is. You’ll want to hear this. The links to follow the show are on the Quorum Report homepage.

Meantime, some significant players made moves at the Texas Capitol this week. So, it’s time for People on the Move – the most efficient way to let everyone around here know what you or a friend is up to career-wise. Hit me up anytime with the scoop at ksbraddock@gmail.com. If you use POTM in the subject line, it helps me keep track. And yes, it is okay to text it to me but don’t be surprised if I can’t find your text by Friday morning.

Thank you so much. Here’s the latest edition.
