Rep. John Bryant on Monday entered the race for Texas House Democratic Caucus Chairman, challenging Chair Trey Martinez Fischer, by promising to “protect Democratic priorities in the upcoming session and guarantee Democratic bills reach the floor.”

Bryant has, as QR readers are aware, been running for Speaker. He explained the situation in a lengthy text to House Democratic lawmakers that he was sending in the afternoon. The caucus is set to elect its leadership Dec 4 – just days before the Texas House GOP Caucus is scheduled to gather to endorse a speaker candidate.
