Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, writing on Facebook, says House Speaker Jeff Hickman has an opponent for that post:
“My very good friend and an excellent legislator, Rep. Jason Murphy (sic), is running for Speaker against my very good friend and an excellent legislator, Speaker Jeff Hickman….Democracy in action.”
Asked for comment, Murphey’s response was brief: “The Speaker Designate election will take place on May 5th and I will be the only other candidate aside from Hickman.”
Murphey has opposed Hickman on some issues this session.,
