Press conference with community leaders in response to kyle biedermann
Kyle Biedermann is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives from District 73, which encompasses Comal, Gillespie, and Kendall counties in the eastern portion of the Texas Hill Country.
Biedermann defeated incumbent Doug Miller, chairman of the Special Purpose District Committee, on May 24, 2016 in the Republican primary runoff election. Biedermann polled 10,481 votes (55.4 percent) to Miller's 8,438 (44.6 percent). Biedermann faced no Democratic opponent in the November 2016 general election.
During the primary campaign, a photo surfaced of Biedermann dressed up as the Saturday Night Live character "Gay Hitler" for a charity event in 2008. He was criticized by the Anti-Defamation League.
In January 2017, Biedermann sent a survey to Muslim leaders asking them questions about their interpretations of Islam in preparation for a "Homeland Security Summit". The surveys were distributed as part of a campaign that Biedermann said was designed to expose "radical Islamic terrorism in Texas", and preceded a forum that Mr. Biedermann held at the State Capitol, scheduled to coincide with Texas Muslim Capitol Day, an educational event for Muslim school children. The episode attracted critical media coverage and condemnation by civil rights advocates.
