Speaker's race narrows to Mead O'Neal ally Mead leads bid
In Topeka two GOP reps Mike O'Neal and Bob Mead form a fiscal conservative ticket to challenge longtime House leader Bob Miller. O'Neal has dropped out citing lack of broad support and backs Mead, who says they hold a clear majority. The 66 Republican representatives meet Monday to pick the next speaker, a role shaping committee assignments and bill debate. Miller still asserts he has enough votes to win. Both Miller and Mead have supported pro choice measures, while O'Neal has opposed abortion. The leaders say they want a more open, responsive GOP with better session planning.
