The Influence Industry: A Day in the Capitol With Top Texas Lobbyist Buddy Jones
When it comes to lobbying Texas legislators, Neal T. “Buddy” Jones of HillCo Partners is one of the best “hired guns.” Just do the numbers: every two years, Texas lawmakers file thousands of bills, many of which never gain traction or a spot on the House and Senate calendars. It’s clear. Awareness is key to the passage of legislation. Enter – the lobbyist.
Jody Richardson: Lobbyist Thrives on Uphill Challenges
A Texas legislator once told Jody Richardson that, if she wanted to talk to him, she would have to run. And he took off at full speed down a Capitol hallway. With eight marathons on her vita, the lobbyist not only kept up the pace, she had her say. For her 60th birthday, the Allen Boone Humphries Robinson public finance lawyer climbed Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Mountain climbing is just one example of Richardson’s proclivity for uphill challenges, which continues in the current legislative session.

Mike Levy: A (Brief) Conversation About 40 Years of Texas Monthly
“This interview will be 20 minutes,” Mike Levy says in welcome. “I’ve never sat still for longer than that.” Good thing, too, because, without his legendary energy and his occasional brashness, the founder of Texas Monthly might not have persevered in creating what has become an icon of journalism. As the magazine’s February issue celebrates its 40th anniversary, its first publisher marks nearly four-and-a-half years since he “re-potted” himself. Here, with staccato-like delivery, he discusses – among other things – his law degree, his success, the 1973 infamous article (“Empires of Paper”) on the three big Houston law firms, his view on aging and his life after Texas Monthly.
