Patrick Statement on Dennis Bonnen Announcement He Will Not Seek Re-Election

HOUSTON, TX – Lt. Governor Dan Patrick issued this statement today following the announcement this morning that Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen will not seek re-election:

“Weeks ago, I called for the release of the now infamous tape so that every member of the House could hear it and make their own a decision. Many Republican House members have stood up in support of new leadership for the Texas House. I stand with Governor Abbott and will work over the next 13 months to elect Republicans and ensure the GOP maintains control of the Texas House — the future of Texas depends on it.”
