GOP leaders and key supporters, including Texas Right to Life, wanted the Royse City Republican out of office amid accusations of an inappropriate sexual relationship.
investigative panel found he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 19-year-old woman on his staff
Texas Right to Life, a staunchly anti-abortion group that was a key supporter of Slaton’s political campaigns, revoked its endorsement Monday, saying it was a "Christian organization" that held its staff, board members, scholarship recipients and political endorsees to high moral standards. Calls for the Royse City Republican’s resignation began to grow soon after the committee report was provided to House members while they were meeting Saturday. The report also found that he tried to intimidate others who knew of the incident so they would not speak about it.
On Sunday, the Texas House Freedom Caucus, a group that includes some of the most socially conservative lawmakers in the chamber who are usually politically aligned with Slaton, also called for his resignation. That action ran contrary to the approach taken by the party’s chair, Matt Rinaldi, who said he would "reserve further comment until the House has an opportunity to deliberate and vote on the recommendations of the committee."
