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.”

Poster Comment:

I've already kicked Rhonda Seth $30 - I hate Speaker Bonnen with a passion, he's an egotistical asshole.

Boonen (no typo) reminds me of Creepy Porn Lawyer.

I helped my Republican Committeeman in Chicago move his Headquarters. He gave me a picture of Richard Nixon as a thank you. It had a quote from his Inaugural speech on it. I think it was in a dresser drawer in Golden City when my furniture disappeared. ;)

Dennis Bonnen is worse than was the previous speaker, (((Joe Straus))). And that's saying a lot. But, Dennis Bonnen is Straus' hand-picked successor, so the rot is firmly entrenched in Austin.
