德克萨斯州48名共和党众议员和候选人联合支持众议员大卫库克作为他们替代众议院议长戴德·菲兰的候选人. A coalition of 48 Texas Republican House members and nominees has endorsed Rep. David Cook as their candidate to replace House Speaker Dade Phelan. 库克是来自曼斯菲尔德的两届共和党人，他的目标是只任命共和党人领导众议院委员会，这一立场得到了对费兰的两党合作方式不满的极右翼领导人的支持。 Cook, a two-term Republican from Mansfield, aims to appoint only Republicans to lead House committees, a stance supported by far-right leaders dissatisfied with Phelan's bipartisan approach. 得克萨斯众议院共和党核心小组将于12月正式认可一名候选人,需要现任成员五分之三的支持。 The Texas House Republican Caucus will formally endorse a candidate in December, requiring three-fifths support from current members.
