Rumblings ahead of the GOP caucus meeting

Though officially campaigning for Rep. Cook for speaker, Rep. Frank is again telling some GOP colleagues that he is still an option in the race, per multiple Republican House sources

Even after officially dropping out of the race for speaker and endorsing Rep. David Cook to hold the gavel, Chairman James Frank is still telling some of his GOP colleagues that he’s interested in presiding over the Texas House next session.

That’s according to multiple Republican sources on Monday.

Though it may frustrate Little Gov. Dan Patrick, unnamed sources are often the quickest route to the best attainable version of the truth in Texas government, especially when it comes to a race for speaker. In such a contest, the conversations of consequence are off the record talks that occur member to member.

And once members got back into the groove after the holiday break, rumblings about what might happen at the upcoming GOP Caucus meeting started to ramp up.
