[Texas House Speaker Tom] Craddick, R-Midland, told Mendez Middle Schoolers about his job and answered their questions about state government. But he stumbled a bit when it came to the federal government.

There are 435 U.S. representatives and 100 senators. In Texas, there are 150 representatives and 31 senators.
