People on the Move

Talarico spotted, association news, a big Houston promotion, and more

It seems that the mystery of “Where In the World is James Talarico” has been solved – he’s been spotted at ACL this afternoon, according to the social media. That won’t keep the conspiracy theorists from tweeting about it all day and night, though.

On the Quorum Report Radio podcast coming out tonight, I did place a call to the Ken Paxton “tip line” to let the campaign know that as a Central Texas resident, I have not seen Talarico in person lately and that I’ll update the situation as appropriate.

Also on the show: Harvey reports that some GOP women got up and walked out when Sen. Angela Paxton urged them to vote for her estranged husband. Seems that message wasn’t going over well even before Sen. Paxton starred in a TV commercial offering the same argument about the “Elephant in the Room.” Speaking of Harvey, he’s hanging out in Dallas for Texas-OU events this afternoon. Make sure to say “hi” if you see him.

The show will drop on your favorite podcast app this evening. Links to follow it on Apple and Spotify are on the QR homepage.

Meantime, some serious career news crossed my desk this week. To share your news – or someone else’s – just send it to ksbraddock@gmail.com anytime and use POTM in the subject line.

Here’s the latest edition.
