Steve Stockman isn’t a freshman member. This is his second term separated by 16 years. His first term was back in 1995-97 as a prominent class of ‘94 member who took down the powerful Dem committee chairman Jack Brooks.
I thought that was the case and figured someone smarter than me like you would come along say so. Thanks. He isn't my Rep but I'm nearby by about 60 miles or so. And I like the guy.
