On Tuesday, the Harrison County Republican Party Executive Committee censured State Rep. Chris Paddie (R–Marshall) by a vote of 9-1.

The resolution stated its purpose is “to demonstrate the widespread dissatisfaction with the lack of representation we have received by Chris Paddie, and the solidarity of the grassroots in opposition to his continued status as our elected representative.”

Listed Grievances

The resolution cited 18 specific grievances, including Paddie’s opposition to House rule changes, such as appointing only Republican chairmen to major committees in the House, or requiring a record vote for members of the powerful House Calendars Committee if they decline to schedule legislation for the whole House to vote on.

The party also cited Paddie’s opposition to items relating to Republican Party of Texas legislative priorities, such as not allowing a vote on legislation that would ban taxpayer-funded lobbying statewide after it was heard in his own committee, or also gutting a ban on the practice by local governments by injecting loopholes.
