AUSTIN – Two Democrats in the Texas House announced Tuesday that they are switching to the Republican Party in move that gives the GOP a supermajority – and near complete control of the agenda – in the lower chamber next year. Rep. Aaron Peña of Edinburg appeared at a news conference with Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus to proclaim his move to the GOP along with fellow Democrat Allan Ritter of Nederland, in southeast Texas. Ritter had already indicated his intentions to shift his party affiliation.
