I saw a question on another FB wall: Do you have the list of brave 15 from the challenge against Strauss from Ken Paxton? [in 2011] Reason, it seems there are now 20 brave Reps... yet who is not continuing to stick with conservative values? Rep. Jodie Laubenberg for instance... I replied and thought you might like to see this all in one place too: Those who voted against Joe Straus for Speaker in 2011: Republican Reps. Van Taylor, Phil King, Dan Flynn, Jim Landtroop, Jodie Laubenberg, David Simpson, Tan Parker, Ken Paxton, James White, Bill Zedler, Charles Perry, Leo Berman, Cindy Burkett, Wayne Christian and Erwin Cain. Those present but not voting? Republican Reps. Bryan Hughes and Jason Isaac. (The last two did not red-light Joe Straus but voted present, at least not voting *for* him.) Here are where we are now in 2014, with the original 17 that did not vote for Straus: Van Taylor - Senator-elect Phil King - Turn-coated in 2013: agendawise/articles/king-finally-marries-his-political-mistress Dan Flynn - Turn-coated in 2013 and went public about it this year, becoming the attack dog against UT Regent Wallace Hall. educationviews.org/u-t-regent-wallace-hall-hung-dry-straus-show-trial-panel/ Jim Landtroop - Defeated in 2012 primary run-off by Ken King, who has endorsed Joe Straus: https://scribd/doc/247215699/Statement-84th-session Jodie Laubenberg - Turn-coat https://scribd/doc/246992418/Endorsement-for-Straus-for-Speaker David Simpson - Awfully quiet. Ive heard hell vote for Scott Turner, but hes being pretty quiet... Tan Parker - Turn-coat. breitbart/Breitbart-Texas/2014/11/14/Battle-for-Texas-Speaker-Heats-Up-As-More-GOP-Reps-Declare-Support-for-Straus Ken Paxton - AG-elect Jame White - Turn-coated in 2013, but finally went public this year. https://scribd/doc/247057777/Fourth-Endorsement-letter-for-Straus-for-Texas-Speaker Bill Zedler - Solid as a rock for Scott Turner. Leo Berman - Retired, replaced by Matt Shaefer, who is solid for Scott Turner. Cindy Burkett - Turn-coat: https://scribd/doc/247057777/Fourth-Endorsement-letter-for-Straus-for-Texas-Speaker Charles Perry - Senator-elect Wayne Christian - Re-districted out of the majority of his district. Erwin Cain - Ditto. Bryan Hughes - For Scott Turner. Jason Isaac - Turn-coat: https://scribd/doc/246992418/Endorsement-for-Straus-for-Speaker Conclusion: Of the original 17 that did NOT vote for Straus, seven are gone, seven have turn-coated, and 3 are standing strong against Straus.
