From the Nashville Post:
Harwell, a Nashville representative and former GOP state party chair, said this afternoon that House Minority Leader Jason Mumpower had put together a “very well-formed coalition” for speaker.
Harwell, who said publicly Wednesday she would seek the speaker chair, took herself out of the running, deferring to Mumpower.
“Jason Mumpower has gained the support of a very well-formed coalition from within our caucus,” Harwell said. “I am not going to be in the race, but rather am going to let Jason have that and look forward to working with our caucus.”
