Background

Following the previous state House elections in 2018, Republicans nominally gained a majority in the chamber. However, when the House convened in 2019, all fifteen Democratic members formed a coalition with the two independents including Bryce Edgmon (elected as a Democrat) and eight dissident Republicans to re-elect Edgmon as Speaker, a total of twenty-five members.[2] In July and May of 2019, Republicans Tammie Wilson (District 3) and Gabrielle LeDoux (District 15) left the Coalition, respectively, dropping its members down to twenty-three.[3][4]
