A Capitol Hill tradition since 1909, five Texas members of Congress participated in the game…….
Five Texans were involved in the game: Reps. Mike Conaway of Midland and Kevin Brady of The Woodlands playing for the Republicans and Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth for the Democrats, plus Rep. Joe Barton of Arlington as the GOP manager and Williams as the GOP coach.
