Wes Rapaport, Texas Capitol Correspondent in the Nexstar Austin Bureau, is leaving the TV news biz to work for the Texas Division of Emergency Management as a Media and Communications Officer.

"For as long as I can remember, I’ve set out to help people," Rapaport tweeted. "Looking forward to continuing pursuit of my goal to share stories. Thrilled to share I’ve joined @TDEM as Media & Communications  Officer. Excited for this next chapter of aiding Texans prepare for & respond to disasters."

Since 2017, the award-winning journalist covered the Texas Legislature in Austin for 14 stations in Texas according to his bio.
