TX GOP Chair Abraham George Seeks Another Term

India-West News Desk

AUSTIN, TX — Republican Party of Texas Chairman Abraham George has announced that he is seeking reelection, touting what he described as historic gains for conservatives during his tenure, even as he faces sharp criticism online.

“Under our watch, the Republican Party of Texas has delivered unprecedented results for conservative Texans,” George said in a statement declaring his candidacy. He pointed to a lawsuit filed by the state party aimed at closing Republican primaries to non-Republicans, calling it a landmark effort to protect the integrity of GOP nominations and ensure that only Republicans select Republican candidates.

George also highlighted what he described as a productive legislative session, noting that Republicans passed 43 priority bills and expanded their majorities in both the Texas House and Senate.

“The future of Texas Republicanism has never been brighter, and I’m honored to continue leading this fight,” he said.

His announcement, however, was met with stiff resistance on social media, where critics questioned his leadership and revived past controversies and his brush, in 2023, with the law where he suspected his wife of having an affair. “Absolutely not. Read the writing on the wall — Texans do not want you,” one user wrote, while another said, “You’ve failed miserably. I’ll vote for anyone looking to replace you.”

The backlash comes amid broader political tensions in Texas, including a growing debate over immigration and foreign worker programs.

George has publicly supported the Texas Governor’s move to freeze H 1B hiring. In a recent interview, he identified property taxes, illegal immigration, and what he described as the Islamification of Texas as major issues for the state GOP.
