New Texas GOP chairman Abraham George talks with FOX 4's Steven Dial about Dade Phelan's chances of remaining House Speaker, potential gridlock in the 2025 legislative session and the future of education savings accounts in Texas.
The dust has settled from Texas' primary runoff elections and House Speaker Dade Phelan is keeping his seat.Phelan beat out businessman David Covey in what will go down as one of the most expensive House race in state history.Even though Phelan will have his seat in the House, there is a question over whether he will keep the speaker's gavel with many powerful members of the GOP, including Attorney General Ken Paxton, Lt. Gov.
Why is this a priority? Why do you think using public dollars for private education is something that Texans want?GEORGE: You're bringing competition to the market, which brings quality out. So that's the idea. It's not going against public education, especially in some areas. I live in Collin County. We have some of the best ISDs out there. I don't think they're going to lose a lot of kids. I think, you know, like Wylie ISD or something.
