[]
Date: 2022-07
Election for Governor of Texas
The 2022 Texas gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022, to elect the governor of Texas. Incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott is running for re-election to a third term. Gubernatorial primaries were held on March 1, 2022. Abbott won the Republican primary, while former U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke won the Democratic primary.
Texas does not have gubernatorial term limits. All statewide elected offices are currently held by Republicans. In his most recent gubernatorial race in 2018, Abbott won with 55.8% of the vote.[1]
Republican primary [ edit ]
On June 4, 2021, Texas Republican Party chairman Allen West announced his resignation as party chair.[2] West criticized Gov. Greg Abbott's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas.[3] The history of conflict between West and Abbott included a lawsuit by West and other Republicans challenging Abbott's extension of the early voting period in 2020, as well as a protest outside the Governor's Mansion over pandemic-related shutdowns as well as mask mandates.[4] On July 4, 2021, West announced that he would challenge Abbott in the 2022 gubernatorial primary.[5] Both West and fellow gubernatorial candidate Don Huffines were considered more conservative than Abbott.[6][7] On March 1, 2022, Abbott won the Republican primary by a much smaller margin than in 2018.
