David Cook Emerges as Top Choice for GOP Speakership

A majority of incoming Republican Texas House members appear to have thrown their support behind State Rep. David Cook for Speaker of the House.

I, for one, would like to see Phelan ousted but, I'm not sure this will be much of an improvement.

Phelan has to go.

The dems will elect another RINO!

Phelan is somehow under the impression that he's going to remain speaker - when he only survived a primary challenge by thousands of crossover Democrat votes - and reality is any Republican that votes for him to be in any position that lacks 'bitch' in the title will be subject to a primary challenge themselves.
Between impeaching AG Paxton and blocking School Choice, he's shown his ass, and his district will suffer severe consequences for sending him back to Austin - every budget item needs to be zeroed out for his term.

Andy Hopper hinted that there should be enough new conservatives elected in November to kick him to the curb.

We got Lynn Stucky UNelected in Wise/Denton County district 64 so there might be hope.

Cook isn't much of an improvement. This is the best they can do?

First elected in 2020, Cook voted for Phelan in both 2021 and 2023. He also voted for the impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton. The secretive process employed in the Paxton impeachment was a flashpoint for many of the members.

Watching from well inside the Trans-Sabine; your ‘’Phelan” is a major nutcase.
