EBJ supports Rep. Crockett for Congress, Texas House filings bring newcomers and familiar faces, and the Democrats look to round out the top of their ticket
Another week, albeit a short one, saw a slew of announcements
for higher office. Most notable are among Texas’ congressional delegation, a
switcheroo, a long overdue announcement and some hints
of what’s to come.
And more lawsuits, including another filed just today by
Senators Roland Gutierrez of San Antonio and Sarah Eckhardt of
Austin regarding the redrawing of House District 37, a possible
Rio Grande Valley pickup for Republicans. State Board of Education
member Ruben Cortez, who is running for the seat, joined the lawsuit.

A bunch of the biggest open secrets in Texas politics
came out this week. Some surprises did too. Meantime, Texas House

Big agency news, lobby and staffer moves, and the POTM schedule for the rest of 2021
First things first: There
will be no POTM next week because of the holiday. Feel free to send career news
in the meantime just be aware it won’t appear here in print until the following
week.
For the remainder of the
year, here are the Fridays there will most certainly not be a POTM article: November
26, which also happens to be my birthday, and then no POTM on December
24 and 31 either. So, if you want to see your career news announcements in Quorum
Report before the end of the year, send them to ksbraddock@gmail.com as soon as possible and for do it sure before
December 17. As always, use POTM in the subject line. Thank you so much.
Here’s the latest edition.

From the
story:
Saying state lawmakers
didn’t budget enough money, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP legislative leaders on
Friday cited an honest-elections “emergency” as they
shifted $4 million from the state prison system to the secretary of state’s
office to pay for county election audits required by the new Texas elections
law. The secretary of state’s office, under Abbott’s effective control, would
create an Election Audit Division to conduct the randomized county audits the
new law calls for after the next midterm and presidential elections – and
thereafter, every two years.
That’s an important step
“to stop voter fraud,” Abbott said in his money request to top Republican
lawmakers.

“The Texas economy has undoubtedly benefited by funneling more than $290 billion to local and state governments, businesses and individuals in the state,” Hegar told TTARA members

online sales tax – Comptroller Glenn Hegar told a leading business group
in Austin.
Hegar, who addressed the Texas Taxpayers and Research
Association’s annual conference, said the Texas economy has continued
to rebound strongly from the short, but deep, recession brought on by the
COVID-19 crisis.

Rep. Toth took the debate to the Conroe ISD this week
The new Texas law addressing critical
race theory in the classroom promises to be a highwire act for most school
districts, with school leaders insisting CRT has never been a part of school
curriculum and angry opponents just as convinced Texas classrooms are rife with
it.
Enter CRT bill sponsor Rep. Steve Toth,
R-The Woodlands, at this week’s Conroe Independent School District
meeting. Grace
Woodlands Church, in a post on Facebook, promised nothing short of Toth
standing for truth and light on behalf of families in the Conroe ISD community that
want to stop “Critical Race Theory, Trans-Genderism, Hyper-Sexuality, Value
Shaming, Political Activism and Virtue Signaling.”
