Interview with Delay – Time magazine
DeLay:Probably the end of May. But it depends on the Congressional schedule. As far as what happens with my spot on the ballot: The state Republican executive committee will go to work and I will move to Virginia. The state Republican election committee will pick someone to run on this ballot.
TIME: What is it about the law that makes your moving to Virginia important?
DeLay:I become ineligible to run for election if I’m not a resident of the state of Texas.
