'Former Gov. Rick Perry joins House Speaker Dade Phelan’s team as senior adviser' was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organ
was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.Phelan made the announcement Thursday morning in a news release touting Perry's previous posts as a state representative, agriculture commissioner, lieutenant governor and governor.
In joining the team, Perry gives Phelan a bona fide conservative on his side as he tries to shake off challenges for the chamber's leadership from three other Republicans: Cypress Rep. Tom Oliverson, Stephenville Rep. Shelby Slawson and Mansfield Rep. David Cook. Phelan's challengers have accused the Beaumont Republican of being insufficiently conservative and holding up legislation supported by hard-line conservatives.
This week, Patrick, a hardline social conservative, posted criticism of Phelan on social media, nicknaming him a "RINORAD " and questioning Phelan's reasons for supporting the impeachment last year of Attorney General Ken Paxton on corruption and bribery allegations. Paxton, a conservative darling, also encouraged House members on social media this week to "dump Dade."
