State Representative Kevin Bailey was recently named one of the three most influential legislators from the Houston region by the Dallas Morning News.
According to the news report the paper assigned points to lawmakers based on which committees they are on, their party, seniority, and in the House, how they lined up on the critical speaker’s race vote.
Dallas and Houston were compared because of their status as the state’s dominate cities and their traditional rivalry.
“We all know that Houston is still Number 1 and that will never change,” joked Rep. Bailey when informed of his rankings by a reporter for the Dallas Morning News.
The News report described Bailey as a “Power Player” with seats on top committees that give him clout and better position him to support policy goals that are beneficial to his district.
