Texas GOP Denounces Democrat Committee Chairs

“You need to get louder and louder and louder.”

The Republican Party of Texas denounced this week’s Texas House rules vote, which allowed Democrats to continue chairing committees and block conservative legislation, at a press conference on the Capitol grounds.

More than a thousand Republican voters converged on the Capitol Thursday to voice their disgust with the status quo and hear from RPT officials and conservative lawmakers.

“While conservatives in Washington, D.C., recently fought for and won historic reforms that bring accountability and transparency to Congress, state House members in Texas just rolled over and played dead,” said RPT Legislative Priorities Chair Jill Glover.

Glover reminded Texas lawmakers that the hundreds of voters in attendance “are your constituents.”

Banning Democrat committee chairmanship is one of eight Republican priorities for 2023, and although it is supported by more than 81 percent of Republican voters, a majority of Republican lawmakers failed to deliver.
