People on the Move
We’re back with lobby moves, staffing up for campaigns, awards, and more
Yes, I
know.
Thanks so
much for all your messages after my decision to step away from the podcast I’ve
hosted for the last decade. I’ll be nice – since that’s my default setting –
and say this: Some excellent programming is coming soon and by that, I mean in
weeks not months.
Meantime,
I’ve been meaning to catch up on People on the Move
but I was traveling and so were many of you after regular session in
anticipation of the special coming up next week. For me, I needed to check in
on my mama. She’s doing great. And my daughter. Same. And now I’m ready to see
all your hopefully smiling faces Monday at the Texas Capitol.
As the
kids say, it’s been a minute since the last POTM. So, here’s a refresher: Back
in 2017 there was a wave of retirements from the lobby following an especially
grueling year at the building. Some subsequent legislative sessions have made 2017
seem like a cakewalk, it’s true. But back then, after Mr. Kronberg
and noticed some of our friends were leaving the business, many of you
wanted to know which gigs had potentially opened up and
where various people had landed. So, QR’s People on the Move was
born.
It wasn’t exactly
a reinvention of the wheel, though. One of our veteran readers pointed out in
2018 that legendary journalist Sam Kinch had done something similar in a
publication called Texas Weekly that was later headed up by Ross
Ramsey. We follow that great tradition by being the most efficient way to
let everyone in the Texas Capitol community know about your new gig or hire. You
can also brag on your friends or tattle on an adversary by sending the scoop to
ksbraddock@gmail.com. Please and
thank you.
Here's the
latest edition of People on the Move.
