Next year, voters will have the opportunity to go to the polls and vote in the Republican primary elections in Texas, nominating candidates for positions up and down the ballot.
At the top of that ballot? Texas Governor.
With several candidates having already announced their intention to run, Texas Scorecard invited Gov. Greg Abbott and his primary challengers for a special edition of our Conversations series we are calling Uncut.
While incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott did not accept the invitation, three of his Republican primary opponents did:Allen WestChad PratherDon Huffines. In these interviews, no topic was off-limit. Each candidate was asked about their unique backgrounds, why they want to lead Texas, and what they believe their path to victory is.
Additionally, each candidate was asked about their solutions on a wide array of policy topics including:Vaccine MandatesSecuring the Southern BorderProperty TaxesProtecting Life
You will not want to miss their unedited answers So how can you catch these interviews? The three conversations will be released this week!
Tomorrow we kick off the series with former Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, who discusses his experience having led the state Republican Party and pushing for GOP priorities.
On Wednesday, we keep the conversations going with Texas Humorist and media personality Chad Prather, who shares why a candidate from the entertainment industry should be taken seriously.
Then on Thursday, we wrap things up with former State Sen. Don Huffines, who gives his behind-the-scenes perspective of why conservative legislation often fails to pass, and what he would do about it as governor.
As with all of our podcast programming, you check it out at TexasScorecard.com, Facebook, Youtube, or wherever you listen to podcasts!
Please join us in wishing a very Happy Birthday to Erin Anderson!
