Quoting...
"The Texas House of Representatives turned its back on a majority of Texas voters and a super majority of Texas Republican primary voters by failing to even allow one syllable of debate in opposition to giving Democrats power they did not earn. We should not be giving powerful chairmanships to members of a party committed to working against the interests of a majority of Texas voters."
- State Rep. Brian Harrison (R-Waxahachie)
