“It’s forcing their agenda, and their activist policies, and their socialist polices, into the banking system. That’s the goal” says the former speaker of the Texas House Dennis Bonnen (referring to President Biden nominating a trio of radicals to the Federal Reserve Board).
Republicans must stand unified if our party is going to stave off the radical agenda of the Democratic Party, and “it never hurts to have some good streetfighters, and smart strategists representing you in Washington” Bonnen said, “But part of the challenge I see is that the moderates cut the knees out from under the conservative members when they go cut a bad deal.”
The irony of the Democrats’ walkout is that they are suppressing the voices of their constituents. They cry “voter suppression” but what they are doing is the epitome of voter suppression. They are depriving voters of representation.
Appreciated the visit with Shara & Jim on KTRH to discuss the D’s grim future in the 2022 elections. Failed border policies, tax increases, extended pandemic shutdowns & nanny-state decisions by the Biden Administration will undoubtedly cause major obstacles for the Democratic party.
They couldn’t wait to get rid of the ‘mean orange man’ who sent out ‘nasty tweets’. Be careful what you wish for.

Bonnen, an Angleton Republican, announced he is infusing his new political action committee with $3 million to support GOP House incumbents running for reelection in 2020.

School districts across the state have been working diligently to plan ahead for the next year, but those efforts have been stifled by one thing: the budget.
Beaches are for everybody, Brazoria County officials say, and a bill that has made its way to Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk could give them the power to make sure it stays that way.
Kudos to House Speaker Dennis Bonnen for having the political courage to stand up to the crazy folks who believe anyone should be able to carry arms any place at any time under any circumstances.
On a late sunny afternoon, long after most lawmakers have quit for the day, House Speaker Dennis Bonnen is seated in his office behind the House chamber, recounting his struggles with — and triumphs over — dyslexia.
Kudos to Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen for making teachers a top priority this legislative session.
Texans, we have a school finance plan.
It’s a good plan, not a perfect one. It emerged in the House, not the Senate. Its chances of passing intact largely depend on the intestinal fortitude of Speaker Dennis Bonnen and vocal support from regular Texans.
But first, let’s just celebrate the mere existence of a plan in a state where lawmakers for decades have paid little more than lip-service to the troubles of our woefully underfunded public schools.
When people in Angleton think of Dennis Bonnen, they don’t call to mind a powerful leader directing the paths of laws that affect millions of Texans. They think of the neighbor who played backyard whiffle ball, the fifth-grader who petitioned to rename the class hamster, the son whose family reputation preceded him.
The state’s top leaders have been saying for weeks that they are in sync, and here’s the surprise: Their initial proposals look like they are actually in sync.
This month, Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, became only the fourth Speaker of the Texas House in 26 years and only the third Republican Speaker in 146 years. His tenure follows those of Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, (2009-19), Tom Craddick, R-Midland, (2003-09), and Pete Laney, D-Hale Center, (1993-03).
Dennis Bonnen was a persuasive teenager. Even when he was winging it.
Twenty-two years after joining the Texas House as its youngest member, state Rep. Dennis Bonnen is poised to take over the chamber’s reins on Jan. 8.
Both Rep. Brooks Landgraf, Rep. Tom Craddick have said they’ll vote for Bonnen
I support Bonnen for speaker of the Texas House because he will create an environment where every member can represent their constituents, he will defend the House’s point of view, and he will work hard to put Texans first.
Reports indicate that Bonnen came forward last weekend to end the speakership hopes of many. Armed with pledges of a large number of Republicans and some Democrats, the former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and former speaker pro-tempore has put an end to the speculation.
State Rep. Dennis Bonnen started Monday dropping his son off at school in Brazoria County. By 3 p.m. he stood behind a bank of microphones in Austin, flanked by other legislators, announcing he had secured more than enough votes to become the next speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.
Bonnen, a shrewd tactician who has served in the Texas House since he was 24 years old, has reason to be confident. He has amassed 109 pledges of support, from Republicans as well as 31 Democrats.
Bonnen is a conservative; there’s no question about that. But, as noted, he has no sympathy for fools. He also has no need to worry about being unseated in the primary or general election. The 25th district, which runs from Brazoria County to the coast, is deeply red. But Bonnen has represented it since 1996 and voters are clearly fond of him.
