Straus wins key GOP support for Texas House speaker bid
Texas House Speaker candidate Joe Straus secured solid backing from 70 of 100 Republicans in a caucus vote despite a Tea Party challenge.

Straus, a San Antonio Republican businessman, argued the contest was driven by manufactured controversy and vowed to continue his leadership.
