John Kuempel pads GOP control of Texas House by winning his late father's seat

John Kuempel of Seguin was elected Tuesday to fill the Texas House seat left vacant by the death of his father in November. The 40-year-old metal salesman is the son of longtime state Rep. Edmund Kuempel, a Seguin Republican who died of a heart attack two days after he was re-elected to the Legislature in November. Ed Kuempel was 67. John Kuempel is also a Republican. His election means the GOP will control 101 of the 150 seats in the Texas House when the legislative session begins next month.
