Re: Record vote for House Speaker?

I had a conversation with a close friend who is currently the managing director of the Repeal 16, Healthcare Compact, and Campaign for Primary Accountability (she has formerly been involved with the Texas Public Policy Foundation and was President of the Grassroots Institute of Hawaii).

(I give her resume to try to demonstrate that she has skins in the game. She's a staunch conservative - even if she does lean libertarian as many in my generation tend to do.)

Anyway, we had the Strauss conversation this morning and I shared a link to this thread regarding the conversation about Turner's voting record not being robust. This was her response:
I don't know about him on gun rights, but I know he's an incredible representative, father, human, Christian, etc. He's pro-life, he's for small government, and he's much more conservative than Strauss in general - and I know this first-hand, from working with them both in the past.
I can take her word for it, but I wouldn't expect ya'll to.

Just thought somebody might find it even a little bit reassuring, even though the vote is over.
