Texas Monthly's Paul Burka is blogging this morning that Rep. Ken Paxton, R-McKinney, may throw his hat in the ring and join the race to oust Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio.
The source was an item on the website of the Texas Tea Party Patriots PAC, which said Paxton would further underscore the tea party movement's power by announcing for speaker today.
An effort to reach Paxton via email for confirmation was unsuccessful this morning.
