I would rate them all an "F", however I am not in their districts. I do strongly encourage my rep to vote against Strauss but as long he has all the Democrats and a handfull of RINO's he will stay as Speaker.Richard_B wrote:You may be surprised to learn that Speaker Straus (R-San Antonio) is "A" rated by NRA-ILA.

A change in Texas House rules to elect the Speaker solely by the majority party, like the US House does, is sorely needed.
