Attempt to Censure GOP Lawmakers for Opposing Incumbents Fails


“Caucus leadership wanted to use this to send a message to incoming members like Carrie Isaac, Nate Schatzline and others that they need to stay in line. The attempt backfired.”

Attempt to Censure GOP Lawmakers for Opposing Incumbents Fails

An attempt by Republican leadership in the Texas House of Representatives to formally censure three of their own members for supporting challengers to liberal incumbents failed on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that the Texas House GOP Caucus’ executive committee was pursuing a censure of Republican State Reps. Jeff Cason (Bedford), Ben Leman (Anderson) and Steve Toth (The Woodlands) for violating the bylaws of the caucus by supporting candidates in primary campaigns against incumbents.

The caucus’ executive committee is comprised of Chairman Jim Murphy (R–Houston), Vice Chair Tom Oliverson (R–Cypress), Treasurer Craig Goldman (R–Fort Worth), and Secretary Candy Noble (R–Lucas).

Cason donated $2,000 to Mike Olcott, who challenged incumbent Rep. Glenn Rogers(R–Mineral Wells). Rogers angered the grassroots after earning a rating of 45 from Texans for Fiscal Responsibility and a rating of 55 from Young Conservatives of Texas in his inaugural legislative session. Notably, Cason also donated to the challengers of Stephanie Klick (R–Fort Worth), Lynn Stucky (R–Sanger), and Reggie Smith (R–Van Alstyne)

Meanwhile, Leman endorsed, campaigned for, and donated to Ben Bius, who challenged incumbent legislator Kyle Kacal (R–Huntsville), widely considered one of the most liberal Republicans in the Texas House.

Toth also endorsed Ben Bius against Kacal.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

Looks like a couple of them came out for Bius against Kacal.... should have been a whole lot more....

And, this is all I have to say on the subject:

And, to misquote Trump: they didn't send their best.
