BREAKING NEWS: Republican State Representative asks Texas House to investigate Dade Phelan for allegedly stealing taxpayer money.
The General Investigative Committee must look in to this apparent wrong doing by Speaker Phelan. Asking Texas Taxpayers to pay for his travel when his campaign is already reimbursing him is a criminal. #TXLege

If you’ve seen this, help spread the word. It is worth the time to get informed. Do your research on House Speaker Dade Phelan. See who he donates to at Read articles about what agendas and Democrats he supports. Many House conservatives are not truly.
Ep. 25 Liberals like Karl Rove just tried to annihilate Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. It didn't work. Paxton just joined us for his first interview since his acquittal.

Dade Phelan has refused to debate since the inception of this campaign, avoiding every public forum during the primary. Now the Speaker’s failing campaign believes they can pacify voters with a debate that is closed to the public. Until Monday, we had not received a formal.

Wait, Dade Phelan has known about this debate for 19 days even though an official invite didn’t go out until 5 days ago? And he still decided to use a liberal, pro-reparations moderator? . Tell me more about how he tried (and failed) to stack a fake debate in his favor.
It’s been 19 days since Ducking David Covey started hiding from SETX voters by REFUSING a local televised debate and for 19 days, Ducking David has neglected to accept the invitation, negotiate, or answer to House District 21 voters. Instead, he is making up excuse after excuse.

Dade Phelan railed against SB 4 as an ineffective, “impotent response to the growing crisis at our border.” Now that he has seen he is in trouble with Southeast Texas voters and will not be re-elected as the Speaker of the House, Phelan is finally praising the strong border.
With no record or proposals of his own to stand on, David Covey is unfortunately lying AGAIN to Southeast Texas voters, knowingly misleading them to try and get their vote. David Covey made the absurd statement that I do not support border security because I “did not vote for SB.
