House Speaker Dennis Bonnen has a new challenger.

On June 10, 2019, lifelong Brazoria County resident Rhonda Seth announced her candidacy for House District 25, which encompasses Brazoria and Matagorda Counties.

In a statement, Seth cited several comments from Bonnen as motivation for her candidacy.

"He’s also made several other statements lately, including praise for the possibility of an El Paso Democrat who might be Speaker of the Texas House, should Texas turn blue. Statements like that are exactly how you turn Texas blue, and don’t represent the sentiments of this Republican district."

On her platform page Seth also signals her pro-gun views. She states that the “federal government has no business telling Texans how to manage our guns. As a law-abiding citizen, I should be allowed to own any weapon I choose without government permission or registration.”

This Bonnen is a devious snake, cut out of Paul Ryan cloth.

Why can’t conservative Texas elect a decent House Speaker?

The last one was a train wreck.

Agreed! Do they just want to have an excuse for not doing what they said they would do during the campaign?

If this guy & Straus were the best options, that’s not good enough - run for speaker your own dang self instead of voting for these worthless guys!

First priority is replacing this guy. Second priority is replacing the R reps who voted for him & Straus (mine included - Jim Murphy).

This sleazy RINO is a disaster for the TX legislature. He is a Democrat supporter who is openly rooting for the Democrats to take over the Texas House. Happily, there is no more straight-ticket voting in Texas that could have seen him be re-elected under false labeling.

What happens is the Democrats unilaterally select one quisling Republican and get a few RINOs to come along. What we get is an underwhelming Speaker.

Yes, he needs to be removed, he is a Democrat posing as a Republican.
