As someone who attended the meeting, it did not go well for him. For more context, check out the quotes in the comments section of the TTP tweet. Many of us firmly held our ground, both literally (most of us stood throughout the entire meeting) and through our responses.
As I've talked with my Republican and Democrat colleagues who support Dustin Burrows, a constant refrain is that they like his "leadership experience."
I realize I'm new here, but the leadership I've seen from him includes: a Republican caucus walkout, lying to Rs and Ds about "having the votes," partially fabricating a supporter list, and now allegedly spying on the Democrat caucus.
Is this really the type of leadership they want in the Speaker's chair?
Meanwhile, I'm not looking for "a leader" of the House. Our voters elected ALL of us to lead. I'm looking for someone to administer the affairs of the House with integrity, allowing each member to do what their voters sent them to do.
That's why I'm supporting @DavidCookTexas.

125 Republican County Chairmen in Texas have signed this letter. If your County is not on here, it most likely means they have not seen the email I sent them. Only a few have actually said no. Please help me by contacting your Chair today and asking them to sign on. #txlege
A note to the handful of Texas House Republicans making public statements in support of cutting a deal w/ Democrats to hand them power: the whole “defiance in the face of adversity” routine only works if you have a core base of voters actually supporting your position.
I am profoundly grateful to have been chosen to join @DavidLowe4Texas' robust team to serve HD 91. The opportunity to work for a dedicated conservative Texas warrior was one I simply couldn't pass up. Our aim is a vigorous course correction in Texas House reform.
Just a reminder, the first 2 days and the last 2 days of voting, typically make up about half of all votes cast during early voting. Obviously, the last 2 days are the busiest.
Plan accordingly. I don’t want to see anyone complaining about long lines next Friday. 😉

This is how I see the candidates’ policies in relation to the rest of the country.
Show me your version of the chart in the comments. List policies for each to make your case. I can be persuaded.
It wasn't until I grew up that I understood how @ScottAdamsSays affected my brain as a kid.
I read Dilbert, of course, every Sunday (and some weekdays too).
And we had *all* the Dilbert comic books.
But what I didn't grasp until later was...
It is a painful irony that people who are promoting the make-believe equality of “inclusion” and “diversity” in schools are attacking charter schools that are producing the real equality of educational achievement.
This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war.
I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden.
Fellow Texans! There are just 10 more days to register to vote for the primary. If you still need to register for the Feb 3 deadline please visit https://t.co/iCsNlmd3mq to get registered! We will also be registering voters at the rally for life in Austin! @TexasGOP @MECarney_
In a guest column, @JohnRLottJr argues that laws allowing for mental-health holds are more effective than red-flag laws to tackle gun violence: https://t.co/Zm3TSkT4mS
Any locally elected official who threatens to cut police and fire should #sb2#hb2 pass, has a gross misunderstanding of city government’s core functions. #txlege
Attending the Texas House Homeland Security Committee Hearing in Austin today. Five bills address Texas gun laws; some good and some bad bills. #2A@GunOwners @NETarrantTea
