### **Happy Independence Day! Today we honor the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom.**

**HD 98**

Over 90 Tarrant County Republicans wrote to incumbent Republican Rep. Giovanni Capriglione requesting his public opposition to electing a Speaker who supports Democratic chair appointments. Tarrant Country GOP Chair Bo French and former Chair Rick Barnes, along with many precinct chairs, school board members, and city council members were among the signatures. On May 31, 46 current or presumptive Texas GOP caucus members signed a similar letter committing to only voting for Speaker candidates who will only appoint Republican committee chairs.

### **Rep. Lloyd Doggett on Biden**

Texas Congressman Lloyd Doggett became the first Congressional Democrat to call on President Biden to withdraw. He said in an interview, “I came back home and the responses I’ve been getting locally, not solicited from me necessarily, are about 10-1 in favor of him withdrawing.”
