Texas GOP picks another Abbott critic to lead state party
Texas Republicans have chosen former state Rep. Matt Rinaldi to replace Allen West as chair of the state GOP.
The State Republican Executive Committee voted on Sunday to name Rinaldi as the party's new leader. West, a former Florida congressman who has served as Texas GOP chair for just under a year, announced last month that he would step down to challenge Gov. Greg Abbott for the Republican gubernatorial nod.
"I'm honored the SREC chose me to lead the Party into the ever-important 2022 election cycle," Rinaldi said in a statement. "Republican state office holders and legislative majorities have led this State to prosperity and success. We look forward to continuing to make Texas a beacon of freedom for other states to emulate."
Rinaldi represented northwest Dallas County in the state House from 2015 until 2019. He lost his 2018 reelection bid to Democrat Julie Johnson.

So Texas has been led to prosperity and success?
The power grid failed and people died.
The rich are getting richer and the poor....well, you know!
