Rep. Glen Casada, R-Franklin, is considering a run for a House Republican Caucus leadership position, five months after resigning as House Speaker amid scandal, the Daily Memphian reports. Casada says he is thinking about running for the caucus whip position, which became vacant after Rep. Rick Tillis, R-Lewisburg, resigned for posting information about the controversy within the Legislature surrounding Casada’s actions. Casada resigned as House Speaker after becoming involved in a racist and sexist texting scandal last year. The position will be filled in a Jan. 20 vote.
