People on the Move

Power players starting new ventures, top staffer moves, and more

The first full week of early voting is nearly complete and rushing to conclusions is the name of the game in Texas.

It’s safe to say, though, that Democratic enthusiasm is giving the minority party an edge not enjoyed in quite some time but Republican field operations are working overtime to turn out their voters long after any persuasion efforts have ended.

On the latest edition of the Quorum Report Radio podcast dropping this evening, we’ll get into some of that and work to track down the origins of those mysterious transgender letters sent to voters in recent days. Even political veterans accustomed to the nastiness of campaigns have expressed frustration this year with the fact that TV ads, radio commercials, and mail pieces have prompted uncomfortable questions from their kids about issues surrounding transgender Texans. Follow the show on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or find it on whichever podcast app you like best.

Meantime, to say there are significant moves in the Texas Capitol this week community is an understatement. It’s another week of power players starting new ventures, top staff promotions, and more. To make sure the political world in Texas know about your career news – or someone else’s – send it anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com and use POTM in the subject line. Please and thank you.

Here’s the latest edition.
