BREAKING Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton resigns after investigation found inappropriate relationship with 19-year-old aide
Texas Right to Life, a staunchly anti-abortion group that was a key supporter of Slaton's political campaigns, revoked its endorsement Monday, saying it was a "Christian organization" that held its staff, board members, scholarship recipients and political endorsees to high moral standards.
Slaton, 45 and married, is among the most socially conservative lawmakers in the chamber and has been one of the loudest voices this session for cracking down on drag shows and decrying drag artists as "groomers" who want to sexualize kids. The Republican parties of Hunt and Hopkins Counties, two of the three counties Slaton represents, called on him to resign.
