Clay Ford not named Speaker of the House

   February 4, 2009

House Republicans unanimously chose Rep. Larry Cretul as their new leader, allowing him to take over Ray Sansom’s duties as House Speaker immediately. Seventy-four of the House Republican Conference’s 76 members were on-hand to elect Cretul as their leader during a 9 p.m. caucus meeting held in the House chamber. There were no other nominations.

Maybe next year – no that’s Dean Cannon or maybe the next, I think that’s Will Weatherford. Hmmm.
