Political filing chaos reshapes Texas race lineup
Twenty eight Democrats and fifteen Republicans filed for statewide and congressional seats as Kilgore and Connally decisions dominated the deadline. Kilgore chose not to run. Connally sought a second term. Multiple candidates surfaced across offices including governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, agriculture, land, comptroller, treasurer, railroad, and state supreme court slots. For the first time a Republican faces opposition in every district this November. Civil defense plans promise rapid hospital expansion with 92 federal stores and a goal of 450 facilities statewide.
