State Representative Phil King (R-Weatherford) received the formal endorsement last week of Governor Mike Huckabee, former presidential candidate and host of the popular Fox News talk show, Huckabee. King is seeking re-election to the Texas House of Representatives District 61 seat he currently holds.

State Representative Phil King (R-Weatherford) brought before a packed house of Rotarians last week, a summary related to the Texas economy. His comments concerned the state's budget, the ever-pressing school finance system and the economy as a whole.

King told the group that Texas had the largest 10-year growth in private sector jobs in the country and that in pre-recession 2008, more jobs were created in Texas than all of the other 49 states combined.
