Beto O’Rourke – the man who proclaimed “HELL YES WE’RE GONNA TAKE YOUR GUNS” – is officially running for Governor in Texas, one of the most pro-gun states in the country.
“I am running for governor to serve ALL of the people of Texas,” O’Rourke said in his announcement. “I believe that the only way we are going to achieve great things for this state is by looking out for each other and moving forward together.”
“I want to serve this state and try to bring the people of Texas together to do some of the really big work that is before us and get past this smallness and divisiveness that Greg Abbott has brought to Texas,” O’Rourke added.
“You see it in the things he wants us to focus on right now, like which girls can play which sports in middle school, or what history teachers in public schools can teach.”
During his failed Presidential run, Beto pledged to take away the guns of the American people:
We expect it to be tough sledding for O’Rourke to campaign on gun confiscation in a state that loves their guns.
On the Republican side of the aisle, it appears that the race will come down to Governor Greg Abbott and Chad Prather.
Prather launched his bid for Governor on the promise of putting “Texas first”. Read more about his platform here.
