  • (1) Republican West held his 81st District seat for nearly sixteen years though he was often at odds with adjacent representative and current Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Tom Craddick of Midland. West was such an avid supporter of his ‘’alma mater’’, the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, that the UTPB president said that he rarely had to ask West for help, for West was already on top of the needs of the institution. A Democratic community organizer from Odessa said that West was among the Republican legislative members most willing to build bridges across the partisan aisle.
