I have told my audience many times last summer and this that the traditional slow news weeks I had known in July and August for a decade no longer exist. And with a U.S. Senate race and other important items on upcoming November ballots, the news cycle will increase as we move into the fall of 2018.

The push is extremely strong to move Texas into the non-conservative column legislatively even with Republicans in charge.
