Texas House Speaker Rep. Dade Phelan (R-Beaumont) narrowly won his primary runoff Tuesday, leading the state's highest-ranking Republicans to blame secret Democrats for stealing the election.

Phelan had several advantages his colleagues did not. His family is one of the most prominent in Beaumont, with a long history of philanthropy that flowed from a fortune gained in the Texas Oil Boom.

Phelan, a Beaumont Republican, had previously insisted he had enough votes to thwart a challenge from the right led by state Representative David Cook, of Mansfield, a former ally.

The Beaumont Republican, who took over as speaker in 2021, first announced he had the votes to become speaker in late 2020 with a group of 51 Republicans — including himself — and 32 Democrats.
