Congratulations Denise!!

From the AAS:
Ex-parliamentarian at law firm

Former House Parliamentarian Denise Davis, at the heart of the flap to replace Speaker Tom Craddick in May, is joining the Austin office of the Baker Botts law firm.

Davis resigned during the final 72 hours of the legislative session after Craddick refused to recognize motions to remove him from office. She did not comment on Craddick's actions, but the speaker's critics viewed her resignation as a sign that his own parliamentarian did not agree with his interpretation of House rules. Her practice will focus on legislative policy and procedure.


I wanted to add a personal note to Denise here. I was heartbroken over the way I believe you must have been treated and I think it was a truly ungentlemanly act by the Speaker. I believe you will excel in your new endeavors and in hindsight I hope this turns out to be the very best thing you've done in a very long time.
