With the backing of Abbott but facing headwinds with grassroots conservatives, Sen. Hancock launches bid for Texas Comptroller

The governor tries to sidestep his own legal opinion by avoiding directly appointing Hancock as comptroller. Abbott slams Huffines for losing his Texas Senate seat to a Democrat; Huffines says “The political elite are manipulating the system to install another go-along-to-get-along lap dog as State Comptroller” and Commissioner Craddick says she’s in it to win it

Just how nasty will the Republican primary for Texas Comptroller be?

Well, on the day that Sen. Kelly Hancock – who turned in a letter of resignation from the Senate yesterday – began a new job at the Office of the Comptroller, Gov. Greg Abbott slammed candidate Don Huffines as a loser and Huffines shot back that the “The political elite are manipulating the system to install another go-along-to-get-along lap dog.” Meantime, Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick reacted by saying it doesn’t matter who else gets in, she’s not backing down.

Y’all ready for this? Here we go.
