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.
