But it is early in its work, with the chairman saying the commission is in its “information gathering phase.”
The Texas Commission on Judicial Section
has at least six more meetings before issuing its report, but the group does
appear to agree on one point: voters will be a part of the process.

New faces in the lobby, a comms pro leaves the governor’s office, staffer moves and more
HOUSTON – The Bayou City
has perhaps never felt more like the center of the political universe with presidential
campaigns descending on Houston, pushing in their chips on Harris County,
rounding up endorsements and doing damage control following national
controversies. It was good to visit with as many of you as possible last night at
the 2020 Harris County Democratic Party’s Johnson, Rayburn, Richards
Dinner.
Mike Bloomberg’s “Mike for Black America” rally at the
Buffalo Soldiers National Museum was pretty masterful stagecraft
as the former mayor who previously said “the way you get the guns out of the kids’
hands is to throw them against the wall and frisk them” was embraced by Mayor Sylvester
Turner and other African-American leaders. Turner said his thinking was
influenced by the fact that Bloomberg now acknowledges the policy was wrong and
has strongly apologized. Meantime back at the JRR dinner, Julian Castro,
stumping for Elizabeth Warren, was taking thinly veiled swipes at
Bloomberg who preceded him on that stage as well.
Awkward.
Meantime, back in Austin y’all have been very busy sending along career news to ksbraddock@gmail.com and putting POTM in
the subject line. Appreciate it very much and apologies for publishing at a
different time this week. I know most of you like your POTM with lunch on
Fridays.
Here’s the latest edition
of People on the Move.

“It’s especially important to understand there truly is no vaccine. There is no specific anti-viral treatment, as there is for influenza,” Commissioner Hellerstedt said. “Right now, all we have is supportive type care for people who become ill…”
The threat of novel coronavirus has activated a state task
force, led by the Department of State
Health Services, intended to prepare for highly infectious diseases.
The last full meeting of the Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response –
a panel created by
then-Gov. Rick Perry – was October
2018. The reason at that time was Ebola, and a smaller sub-group worked with
the Texas Hospital Association
to create an awareness program intended to educate hospitals on infection
control measures and response plans.

“We’re not currently on track to meet the ambitious goals we set out for ourselves,” Commissioner Keller said, as he gets bolder about setting a direction at the THECB
The state’s fairly new higher
education commissioner has opened the door to tweaking the state’s long-range
higher education plan, possibly by raising the state’s profile in university
research.
Commissioner Harrison Keller made his first
appearance before an education committee today. Four months on the job, Keller
is getting bolder with his comments about how he wants to change the direction
of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
