Zedler, two West Texas freshmen back Paxton

Returning Fort Worth GOP lawmaker Bill Zedler (right, photo courtesy of Zedler campaign) has endorsed Collin County Rep. Ken Paxton for House speaker. That's not surprising, given that Zedler was a loyal supporter to the end of former SpeakerTom Craddick, R-Midland, and that he yanked his name from incumbent Speaker Joe Straus' pledge list the day after this month's election.
