4 of our 5 Denton County State Representatives support, Rep. David Cook for speaker.
- Cook was selected by the Texas Republican Caucus.
- State Reps. agreed to support the speaker selected by the Republican Caucus.
- Four of our five Denton County Reps have gone on record supporting Rep. Cook. They are: Ben Bumgarner, HD 63, Richard Hayes HD 57, Andy Hopper, HD 64 and Mitch Little, HD 65.
- These 4 Reps also support "NO DEMOCRAT CHAIRS"
- Who has refused??? JARED PATTERSON, HD 106 (Frisco area).
- REP. PATTERSON is on record supporting the appointment of Democrat Chairs. He openly supports Rep. Burroughs for speaker NOT the Republican Caucus choice.
- Burroughs is a Dade Phelan lieutenant. Texans voted for change in Austin. Burroughs can only win with the votes of the Democrats and votes from a handful of Republicans including Rep. Jared Patterson.
