Texas House Shifts Right After Super Tuesday Primary Results

The Texas House is set to shift further to the right following the Super Tuesday primary results in Texas. State Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Waxahachie, has declared that grassroots conservatives are taking down the “liberal, uniparty establishment” that has long controlled the Texas House. This includes fellow Republicans who are being targeted for not aligning with conservative values.

State Rep. Tom Oliverson, R-Cypress, has thrown his hat in the ring for Speaker of the Texas House and has already outlined his priorities, including pushing for a school voucher plan and eliminating the tradition of awarding Democrats with committee chairs. This move is seen as a way to prioritize party loyalty over experience in the House.

Governor Greg Abbott has expressed confidence in passing vouchers in the House, stating that he is only two votes away from reaching the necessary total of 76 votes. Harrison also supports the voucher system, advocating for a universal voucher system that would benefit all children in Texas.

With these developments, it is clear that the Texas House is gearing up for a significant shift to the right in the upcoming legislative session, with conservative values taking center stage in decision-making processes.
