From WRCB Channel 3…

State Representative Mike Carter announced he is running for house speaker Monday. Carter says he believes he would be the best replacement for Glen Casada.

Channel 3 spoke to Carter moments after he spoke to a crowd of fellow Republicans at the Pachyderm Club of Hamilton County. When asked why he’s campaigning for speaker of the house, he said the state of Tennessee deserves a break from the past.

Carter has not shied away from sharing his thoughts on current House Speaker, Glen Casada.

Casada announced his resignation last month. His last day is set for August 2. The announcement came after an investigation found Casada had exchanged sexually charged text messages with his former chief of staff, who admitted to using cocaine while working in the legislature’s office building.
