You don't see her taking a risk of giving up her House seat for a hopeless campaign for statewide office ?
It's a pretty solid D district IIRC.
Basically, Fletcher is holding her firepower until 2030 IF Cruz retires.
BREAKING: PHELAN IS OUT
BREAKING: Texas Tribune reporting TX House Speaker Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) is NOT seeking reelection as Speaker of the TX House of Representatives. This means the Dems can kiss those committee chairmanships GOODBYE & go deep into further irrelevance. Also guarantees School Choice is 100 percent certain to get passed easily.

Now we just need to make sure Phelan NEVER gets an elected office again.
Phelan's getting reelected to his seat in the TX House of Representatives in 2026 & beyond.
If & when the TX Dems come back from the dead (I'll be amazed if the TX GOP keeps control of state government into the 2060s, unlikely), don't come crying to me IF they retaliate very, very HARD.
