I'm actually very satisfied with my State Rep and he has the NRA endorsement.

But I was wondering if there was a source to find a list of those who keep electing Straus as Speaker.

If my Rep is one, I might seriously consider a conservative newcomer.

In the last Speaker of the House election, held Jan. 19, 2015, Here is the 19 who voted for Turner(his opponent):

Rep. Rodney Anderson, District 105
Rep. Dustin Burrows, District 83
Rep. Pat Fallon, District 106
Rep. Bryan Hughes, District 5
Rep. Mark Keough, District 15
Rep. Stephanie Klick, District 91
Rep. Matt Krause, District 93
Rep. Jeff Leach, District 67
Rep. Matt Rinaldi, District 115
Rep. Scott Sanford, District 70
Rep. Matt Schaefer, District 6
Rep. Matt Shaheen, District 66
Rep. David Simpson, District 7
Rep. Stuart Spitzer, District 4
Rep. Jonathan Strickland, District 92
Rep. Tony Tinderholt, District 94
Rep. Scott Turner, District 33
Rep. Molly White, District 55
Rep. Bill Zedler, District 96

If your rep isn't on that list, then he voted for Strauss

There was quite a long thread going on about him in the opening days of the Legislature:

Good list. I sent my rep a message saying because of his vote for Strous, he will not get my vote in the primary.

I appreciate the list.

Guess I'll be voting for the newcomer.

Sad because my Rep has been on the right side of everything else that mattered to me.

Unfortunately King is my rep and he is one of strauss' s enablers, so I will vote for his opponent!

My rep voted for Strauss.

Wel,l sorry to hear you guys. My rep, Matt Krause, voted for Turner. Needless to say, I voted for him in the primary yesterday.

Looks like Mark Keough gets my vote again.

If Sylvester Turner was the opponent then Straus was overwhelmingly the lesser of two evils. We need a conservative to challenge.

Sylvester Turner was in the 84th. He resigned to run for mayor of Houston. He is now inflicting his damage on the city.

You are correct. Since I did not see him listed in the roster of the 84th. Legislature, I didn't dig deeper. I should have....

He's listed on page 22(voting results) of the House Journal Proceedings of the First Day, of January 13, 2015:

And my condolences for Houston.

My rep Bill Zedler voted correctly and as such received my vote again.

I've asked King about this; it was more fun talking to my dog about gravitational waves. At least she (my dog) understood.
