Lawmakers Compete for Office Space in Austin
Its that time of year when state house elections create a new set of representatives to replace those who lost or have decided to retire. Besides orientation, making acquaintances and trying to get on committees, one of the oldest and most competitive arenas is deciding who gets what office in the Capitol. Senior representatives get first dibs on prime space which is normally in the main building itself so they are walking distance to other movers and shakers.
That leaves all of the new faces competing to get what they can which is normally available space in the underground extension of the Capitol. As someone who has toured the Capitol, I wish them the best of luck because its going to be a crowded two years if you’re on the short end of the stick.
Thankfully finding office space for businesses is much easier and a little less competitive.
