Texas / Runoff Preview: Covey Squares off Against Speaker Phelan for House District 21
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 12:28:07 pm »Texas Scorecard by Amelia McKenzie | May 20, 2024
David Covey is running against incumbent State Rep. Dade Phelan to represent the southeast Texas district.
House District 21 is comprised of Jasper and Orange Counties, and part of Jefferson County. The district is currently represented by House Speaker Dade Phelan.
Phelan (R-Beaumont) will be facing David Covey in the primary runoff election on May 28.
Dade Phelan
Phelan has been in office as state representative since 2014 and was elected as house speaker in 2021. As speaker, Phelan doesn’t receive traditional ratings from legislative groups. However, his ratings from 2019—his last regular session before assuming the speakership—include a 60 from Texas Right to Life, a 49 from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, and a 59 from Young Conservatives of Texas.
Phelan has recently been under fire for openly promoting Democrat power in the House and benefiting from the contributions of a Democrat official whom the Attorney General attempted to prosecute for campaign finance violations. In the past, Phelan has also been accused of refusing to push school choice.-----
David Covey
Covey is a conservative activist and former chairman of the Orange County Republican Party.
Covey has received endorsements from President Donald Trump, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller.
Covey’s campaign has received over $400,000 from Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. He has also received contributions from Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. He currently has about $100,000 on hand.
The Issues
Over the past several weeks, Texas Scorecard questioned all state legislative runoff candidates on issues important to voters as they head to the polls.
Speaker Phelan did not respond to any of the inquiries.

« Last post by catfish1957 on Today at 12:27:05 pm »I am near 100% sure it was stolen. We watched the shenanigans unfold that night right here at this forum,
Problem is this was a death of 10,000 paper cuts, rather one smoking gun. I hope the GOP took note, and learned.

The Democrat Party as a whole needs racial division. Without it, winning becomes much harder for them

Economy/Business / Re: DOW 40,000
« Last post by LMAO on Today at 12:21:38 pm »Donald Trump said in 2019 that a record high stock market should be enough reason to reelect him
Wonder if feels that way now when it comes to Biden?
Trump predicted that the stock market will collapse if Biden was elected. Think he’ll take that back?
Then in late 2023, Trump complained about the record high stock market stating it was only making rich people richer.
So when it comes to statements on the stock market, both Trump and Biden have been very hypocritical
The only way that Trump is going to be able to differentiate himself from Biden when it comes to the economy is to run on a solid platform on reducing government and slashing spending. But he’s not doing that. In fact, he wants even more spending. That’s why he wants to weaken the dollar and lower interest rates

« Last post by catfish1957 on Today at 12:18:08 pm »You're kidding right?
We got a guy in the white house who on about 20 different event occaisons (1) sniffs little kids hairs, (2) Used to ask children at the pool to "stroke the soft hairs on his legs" and (3) has it been proven that he showered inappropriately with his daughter. Even snopes has recnetly reversed and changing the status of this story from unproven to "true"
Chris Hanson treatment?
Hell. he might get re-elected.

« Last post by LMAO on Today at 12:13:50 pm »Whether one believes Trump was robbed or not, there’s no denying that the 2020 election was a mess and things were allowed to happen that should not have been allowed
The mass mail in voting for one. Ballot boxes all over the place inviting mischief is another. And another is what the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did, and that is near the election, change the dates that were agreed upon by the legislature the deadline date for mail in ballots
And I won’t leave out the Zuckerberg Ballot harvesting
And what dumb idea is it that you shouldn’t have to have a verifiable address or an ID when voting?
A lot of this should’ve been challenged by the Trump campaign before the election, but they didn’t. And Trump discouraging people from voting early, didn’t help him, either. Mail in ballots and early voting heavily favored Biden as a result
Covid was used as an excuse for every dumb idea regarding the economy, spending, and elections
These are examples of the incompetence of the Trump administration

Politics/Government / MEDIA: Trump Echoes HitIer, Predicting a “Unified Reich” If he Wins – But New Evidence Paints a Diff
« Last post by American Girl on Today at 12:08:08 pm »Media being the media.
I think they really hate X showing their old clips of lies and deception.
Their desperation is so obvious. Anything to help the decrepit clown in the WH.
