State Rep. Travis Clardy, reared in Lubbock, schooled at Abilene Christian and now living in Nacogdoches, has announced himself as another candidate for Texas House speaker.
“We face critical challenges that will shape and define the future of Texas. Now is the time for a new vision that requires bold leadership. The best days of our great state are ahead, and I look forward to continuing to build an even better Texas for the next generation,” Clardy said in a press release touting himself.
Rep. Travis Clardy
Clardy is a turncoat who first ran for office as a strong conservative even earning the endorsement of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility and appearing on our election show the night he won. But Clardy didn’t govern as he ran. Instead, he become a tool of the big-local-government Republicans and served as part of the Straus team that worked to thwart conservatives in the House.
Clardy currently represents Cherokee, Nacogdoches and Rusk counties and has only been in the House since the 2013 session.
Clardy is a turncoat… he become a tool of the big-local-government Republicans.
His arrogance and antagonism toward conservatives is so bad that the Cherokee County Republican Party took the extraordinary step last year of voting to censure Clardy for failing to uphold basic core principals of the Republican Party.
Clardy’s arrogance is so absurdly strong that he actually issued threats to sue the Cherokee County GOP if they went through with censuring him. And it is that arrogance of knowing better how to spend our money than we do; knowing better than we what is best for us, and; thinking he can limit our rights to political speech and action, that would make Travis Clardy a fine Speaker of the House – if the Joe Straus or Democrat model is your ideal.
Mr. Clardy was censured for failing to uphold basic core top school officials of the Republican party?
