Sulphur Springs (WBAP/KLIF) – 144 leaders of the northeast Texas Republican Party have selected state senator Pat Fallon to take John Ratcliffe’s place in Washington. Ratcliffe resigned his seat as Texas 4th district Congressman to become President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence. Fallon will now be on the ballot in Ratcliffe’s place in November. Fallon is almost certain to be elected because the 4th congressional district is the most staunchly Republican in the entire state. Fallon says his main focus between now and November 3rd will be getting President Trump re-elected.
