Ahead of House investigation, Stickland denies any wrongdoing

“It was what I can only characterize as an ambush by a political opponent”

Following last week's late night blowup in the Texas House Transportation Committee in which he was escorted out, Rep. Jonathan Stickland, R-Bedford, said on Monday that he did nothing wrong.

In a statement posted on his website, Stickland blamed the media, at least in part, who he said “jumped to make accusations that crimes had taken place before they had any facts about the situation whatsoever.”
