Former State Sen. Don Huffines unveiled a series of billboards across Texas this week, promoting his campaign for Governor.

According to the Huffines campaign, the billboards promote his conservative platform on issues like “closing the border, removing taxpayer subsidies to illegal aliens, and eliminating the property tax system once and for all.”

In a statement, Huffines said the move comes as his campaign is building momentum for his primary challenge to Gov. Greg Abbott next year.

“This campaign has the resources necessary to spread our message far and wide, until we reach every Texan. Since we announced our campaign, we have seen tremendous momentum,” Huffines said. “Texans have found a home for their growing frustration that Republicans are allowing Joe Biden’s open border policies to stand, while spending billions in taxpayer money on medical care, education, and in-state tuition for illegal aliens. All while Texans’ property taxes continue to soar. It’s an outrage, and it ends when I am governor. Our commitment to bring back actual Republican leadership to our state is resonating with Texans, who are excited to have a conservative alternative to RINO Greg Abbott for the first time. Texans are tired of empty promises and excuses. It’s time to drain the Austin swamp of career politicians and restore Texans' faith in their leaders.”

Huffines and Abbott are both hoping to win the Republican nomination for Governor next year in a race that also includes comedian Chad Prather, attorney Paul Belew, and combat veteran Kurt Schwab.

The primary election is currently scheduled for March, but may be postponed due to redistricting.
