Rep. Tony Tinderholt (R-Arlington) joined The Texan’s senior reporter Hayden Sparks to discuss his campaign to be the next speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.
“We’re having a speaker’s vote, and it’s gonna be out in the open, and it’s gonna be on the very first day of session,” said Tinderholt.
“If people vote for me, I’m gonna be pretty darn happy. If people don’t vote for me, I’m still gonna be happy, and I’m gonna hug them and handshake them and say, ‘Let’s get to work.’”
The Texan extended an invitation to current Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) for a video interview.
