The two former lawmakers serving as advisors to State Rep Joe Straus in his transition will be staying on for longer. Straus named former state Rep Clyde Alexander to serve as his Chief of Staff, and former state Senator Cyndi Taylor Krier to serve as Senior Adviser.

"This has been an extraordinary week for all of us in the Texas House. I am gratified by the support and friendship of so many Members, uniting to serve the people's business.

I am honored that Clyde has accepted to return to his beloved House, in a fulltime role at my side. Clyde's insights and advice are essential to me. Clearly, Clyde shares my fervent desire to do what is best for the body.

Cyndi's counsel at this critical time is invaluable to me and to Clyde. I have asked Cyndi to continue indefinitely in her volunteer role as my Senior Adviser," Straus said in a statement.
