Bondurant And Smith Announce Intentions
March 25, 2011
On the Gallo Show, Rep. Sid Bondurant (R-Grenada) and Jeff Smith (D-Columbus) announced their intention to run for Speaker of the House next January. Smith said he would be running as an Independent; Bondurant as a Republican. My guess is Bondurant will not be the only Republican running. I have heard Republicans will conference and vote on one candidate at the appropriate time to be the “official” Republican nominee for Speaker.

I heard the interview. It is my understanding that the R’s will conference after the November election and select one person as the R candidate for Speaker. The candidate names I have heard are Philip Gunn, Mark Baker, Herb Frierson, and Bondurant. Gunn and Bondurant are in it for sure and Baker and Frierson are still strongly considering it.
