Covering the #txlege for The Texas Newsroom has been one of the best things in my career.
A great team of editors, reporters, mentors. Too many news stories, too little time. Anyway… apply for my old job and join The Texas Newsroom!

Tonight we toasted @SergioMarBel as he prepares to start his new job at @NPR. Sergio is a star. He has done amazing work as The Texas Newsroom's state Capitol reporter, and we'll miss him. I'm thrilled our audiences will continue to hear and read his stories via NPR.
