Page "Dick Armey" Paragraph 8

After Armey's retirement, fellow Texan and Republican Tom DeLay, then House Majority Whip, was elevated to Armey's Majority Leader position.

Armey's son, Scott, ran for his father's seat in the 2002 election, but lost in the Republican Party ( GOP ) runoff to Michael C. Burgess, who would go on to hold the strongly Republican 26th District for the GOP in November.
