• There is now less than a month before early voting begins in the primary election in Texas and all eyes are on the top of the ticket: the race for Texas Governor.
   
• On the Republican side, Incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott has gained several challengers. Most notably: former State Sen. Don Huffines, former Texas GOP Chair Allen West, and media personality Chad Prather.  
   
• As we get closer to the March 1 Election Day, Texas Scorecard is doubling down on our coverage of this important race as part of our new initiative Decision Texas. 

• We will be bringing you even more exclusive interviews with the candidates, coverage of the forums and debates, and stories you won't get anywhere else. 
   
• Here are a few examples of stories from just the past week:
   

  • Abbott’s Primary Challengers Gather at True Texas Project Forum to Share Their Views

• Additionally, each candidate was asked about their solutions on a wide array of policy topics including:
  • Vaccine Mandates
  • Securing the Southern Border
  • Property Taxes
  • Protecting Life​
