So Don Huffines is running again, this time for Comptroller. He's "gained" the endorsement of a ton of MAGA influencer types. He's running on a "root out all the government corruption" message....is he unaware that the GOP has had full control of Texas Politics for ~30 years?

In the race are Kelly Hancock (acting Comptroller), Christi Craddick (current Railroad Commissioner), and Huffines.

Huffines is similar to Beto in regards to running for every office imaginable without winning.

Hancock has an Aggie daughter and son-in-law

Politicians are usually bad. Used car salesmen are usually bad.

Let's combine the two and see how bad things can get!

Serious question: How much does it cost for Riley Gaines to give an endorsement?

He ran for state senate against incumbent Republican John Corona and won. Lost reelection to a Democrat in 2018, and unsuccessfully challenged Abbott in 2022. Is there anything I'm missing?

He was probably the first big proponent of completely repealing property taxes. He might have just shot his wad a few years too early on that topic.

The oil and gas lobby will buy this election for Craddick. She has been a loyal ambassador for that lobby and her Dad Tom continues to Lead the charge to stop all meaningful Eminent Domain Reform. Tom Craddick was first elected to the Texas legislature in 1968 and is currently running for his 30th term in 2026. He is the longest continuously serving politician in the history of Texas.

Term limits anyone?

Not sure who I'll be voting for, but it definitely won't be Craddick.

Huffines says the right things. What was his track record as State senator? His website touts that he didn't take a salary, pension, or healthcare from his position which is something.

It's really not.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

And why should anyone care if she gives it?
