Bay Area Houston

This is our State Representative. He is now running for Senate.

Representative Dennis Paul filed House Bill 1091 which would shorten the time for accepting mail in ballots. State Representative John Bucy who was appointed to the Elections Committee as a freshman legislator asked very specific questions when Paul’s bill was laid out in the Committee. Paul’s answers came back to embarrass him on the House Floor.

As he did in the Committee Paul continued his claim that his bill would actually give voters MORE time to send in a ballot by mail when in fact it actually shortened it. After an embarrassing questioning by Bucy on the House floor, Bucy called for a point of order and requested no further consideration due to the bill analysis being “substantially and materially misleading”. The Chair agreed. The bill died. (You can read the official details here)

This is one of the many reasons why Dennis Paul was listed as “furniture” by Texas Monthly. After 10 years his time in the House is been uneventful. Our district deserves better…..but not Scott Bowen.
