Don Huffines speaks during a Texas Public Policy Foundation event on Feb. 8, 2018.
Former state Sen. Don Huffines, a conservative Republican from Dallas who has been critical of Gov. Greg Abbott s coronavirus policies, announced Monday that he is challenging Abbott in the 2022 primary. Texas deserves actual Republican leadership that will act urgently and decisively no more excuses or lies, Huffines said in a statement, vowing bolder action on border security, property taxes and elections.
Huffines is a wealthy businessman who served in the Senate from 2015-2019. He was unseated by Democrat Nathan Johnson in 2018.
Abbott is up for a third term in 2022 and has drawn some heat from within his party for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. Huffines has criticized Abbott as being too slow to fully reopen the state and he spoke at a protest outside the Governor s Mansion last fall.

Farewell, J.J.
Regarding “J.J. Watt’s Texans tenure” (Feb. 12): I heard J.J. Watt’s farewell to Houston. He was the heart and the soul of the Texans. Of course that means the Texans no longer have a heart or a soul. The McNairs better get used to the fact that they’re going to have to sell the team or face a boycott by the fans.
