AUSTIN (KXAN) — A former Texas state senator announced Monday he will challenge Gov. Greg Abbott for the Republican nomination for governor in 2022.

Former Republican Sen. Don Huffines launched his campaign via Twitter Monday morning. He is trying to challenge Abbott from the right. On his website, Huffines calls himself “an actual Republican” and says he will prioritize completion of the southern border wall, pass election laws and eliminate property taxes.

Together we will finish the wall, lower our taxes, and protect our elections.

It’s past time to root out corruption in the Austin swamp.

Leadership. No excuses. (An Actual Republican)

It's nice to have conservative options.  At least with Abbott I know what I'm getting....love him or hate him.

Abbott's response to this winter's freeze did some serious damage to his political capital. 

A year ago, I'd been shocked at a primary challenge.

Not to mention his actions in this COVID mess!  Which is what REALLY damaged his brand IMHO.
