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
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 an overwhelming margin.
