In a fiercely contested race, Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan has narrowly secured re-election, emerging victorious over his challenger David Covey by a margin of fewer than 400 votes. The East Texas Republican faced intense scrutiny and opposition, particularly from supporters of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose impeachment Phelan had spearheaded. Despite the impeachment effort failing in the Senate, Paxton and his allies sought retribution, funneling millions of dollars into the campaign against Phelan.
Phelan's re-election campaign was marked by a significant influx of outside money. . .
