Editor at quorumreport.com, celebrating our 41st year of independent journalism in Texas and the host of the Great State's #1 politics podcast: The Texas Take.
What is Mike Collier thinking running for Lt Gov as an independent? It sounds like some of the Democrats who worked his past campaigns are very concerned & could speak out about how he may complicate the party's chances in what could be a great year for them

Nonstop chatter about Little Gov Dan Patrick possibly retiring even though he's assured us all he's running. But even Patrick said "no one believes me" & shared conspiracy theories about himself. Fully got into it in "Hate the Game, Not the Player"

Fort Worth: The last Democrat to run for Texas Senate in SD9 got 40% against Senator Hancock in 2022. Last night the Democrat in the area got 48%. An eight-point swing to the Democrats in a deeply Republican suburban part of Texas should be very concerning to the majority party in this state

There's good reason to think Rep. Crockett will go for it and run for US Senate in Texas. It would turn the race upside down. Plus, I answer for *that* typo about AG Paxton. All in the latest show:

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Party’s top mapmaker testified in federal court Wednesday that while he’s been instructed in the past to preserve minority congressional districts protected by the Voting Rights Act, he received no such direction when drawing Texas’ new gerrymander this summer.

Good for Texas media to keep in mind as they report on this news — recall what Abbott’s office said about deploying TX Guard to Chicago just a month ago.

There's no good reason for a third special session of the legislature, but people around here won't stop talking about it. So, here's some real talk on why it ain't necessary and - knock on wood - shouldn't happen:

Because Hearst and the Chronicle wanted to do an access journalism podcast instead of going deep into the inner workings of the lege. Guess which one is more informative. I'll take @scottbraddock.bsky.social's reporting every time over interviews where the pols say nothing while they're talking
