Y’all. This may be the funniest thing to happen in 2025 so far. Yesterday, East Texas House Republican Cody Harris (R-HD08) filed an ethics complaint against the Republican Party of Texas (RPT) Chairman Abraham George with the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC).
The complaint alleges that Abraham George’s conduct was intended to intimidate or coerce a state representative into selecting the Speaker of the Texas House, violating Sec. 302.032 of the Government Code.
The Chairman of the RPT allegedly sent Harris a direct message threatening to spend money on attack mailers against the incumbent if they did not support the party leadership’s preferred Speaker candidate. Harris also points out that Rule 44 was amended to authorize party leadership to block ballot applications for members who don’t support the endorsed Speaker candidate.
