State Rep. Leo Berman (R-Tyler) has released a list of 13 Texas House members who have pledged their support to Texas House Speaker Tom Craddick (R-Midland) as part of Craddick’s desperate attempt to hang on to the gavel.
Among those on the list was State Rep. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola), who can be considered a “pick-up” for Craddick. Hughes cast a vote against making the vote for speaker public during the 80th Legislature, which is widely interpreted as a signal of those members who were against Craddick in 2007.
In addition to Berman and Hughes, the following signed the letter: Warren Chisum (R-Pampa), Linda Harper-Brown (R-Irving), Carl Isett (R-Lubbock), Phil King (R-Weatherford), Jodie Laubenberg (R-Parker), Ken Paxton (R-McKinney), Dan Flynn (R-Van), Geanie Morrison (R-Victoria), Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola), Bill Callegari (R-Katy), Larry Taylor (R-Friendswood) and Wayne Christian (R-Center).
