This Week in Austin...
During this final week of the legislative session, much of the focus has been on whether a battle will ensue over the Speaker’s chair.
We now have four members who have announced that they are running for Speaker: Rep. Jim Keffer (R-Eastland), Rep. Brian McCall (R-Plano), Rep. Jim Pitts (R-Waxahachie) and Rep. Fred Hill (R-Richardson). Based on some of the difficulty that the North Texas region has faced getting key legislative initiatives passed this session, having a Speaker from our area could be helpful.
