Dade Phelan (R - Beaumont) has been endorsed by the House Republican Caucus to be the next Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives. He has been endorsed by more than 100 of the chamber's 150 members, making him a virtual shoe-in for the position when the House convenes next month.
In announcing the endorsement of the Caucus in a press release posted on Twitter, chairman Jim Murphy heaped praise on the presumptive Speaker.
"Texas Republicans hold Representative Phelan in the highest esteem and we are confident he will be a successful House Speaker.... We are confident he will serve the house as a fair-minded and trustworthy steward of House operations and traditions."
