They should never have gotten rid of Joe Straus.

Isn't it a crime to secretly record people?

Texas is a one-party consent state:

Bonnen retiring:

AUSTIN — Mired by a scandal of his own making, embattled House Speaker Dennis Bonnen announced Tuesday morning he would not seek reelection to the Texas House and would give up his gavel after a growing number of his own caucus had called for his resignation.

“After much prayer, consultation, and thoughtful consideration with my family, it is clear that I can no longer seek re-election as State Representative of District 25, and subsequently, as Speaker of the House," the Republican speaker said in a prepared statement.

Though he will not seek reelection, Bonnen did not immediately resign. He will continue to serve until a new state representative is inaugurated in his district in January 2021. It is unclear how this will affect his duties as leader of the chamber during the interim.

Any Texans or Texas experts have a hunch if this would be competitive, Likely R, or safe?

It’s safe. Democrats usually lose the district by 40/45 points
