I'm all in for Don Huffines for Texas Comptroller in the upcoming election. I voted for him when he opposed Governor Abbott in the Republican Primary because of his very strong determination to close the border down at that time along with his many conservative stances on eliminating property taxes and controlling spending. While Governor Abbott did some good things in respect to closing the border, some of it was window dressing that did not stop the flow much.

Texas spending goes through the Comptroller's Office and I have no doubt that Mr. Huffines will expose the games that are being played over at our Capital in Austin. I believe it was a couple of legislative sessions ago that our Texas Spending went up drastically around the Covid days. It can be argued whether it was necessary or not. But to have that level continue is along the same lines of the federal government in my opinion which we all complain about. Texas is flush with money with growth in new businesses and population growth, but I would advise that we constantly fight the over-expansion of government. Don Huffines will definitely do his part to be a good watchdog and be very transparent at the same time. He takes no salary and thus cannot be bought. What you see with him is what you get.

Behind him 100%.

Seems pretty crowded when there are already two powerhouses. But he is extremely viable

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson to throw his hat in US Rep Ring? I think he'd be a great Rep!

The domain name ericjohnsonfortexas.com was registered Oct. 6, according to the website godaddy.com, though it's unclear who reserved it. The city also canceled a scheduled City Council briefing this week, fueling more speculation.

Johnson has not responded to requests for comment, but he posted Tuesday night on social media, saying he is not running for another office.

"Trying to find out whether I am resigning, but the "story" is behind a paywall," Johnson posted. "Hate it when that happens. Anyway, here is the free version: I am NOT running for anything, and I will continue serving our great city as its mayor!"

For more than a year, Dallas political insiders have questioned whether the mayor will finish his term or seek higher office. Recent events have intensified speculation, with some of it suggesting he may resign soon to run for state or federal office.

Johnson, a Republican since 2023 after switching from the Democratic Party, has been linked to the Texas attorney general's race and the newly redrawn, Republican-leaning 32nd Congressional District.

"I've heard continued rumors about the mayor," said council member Chad West.

"The mayor has to do the best thing for him at the right time and I will support whatever decision he makes, if he decides to make a decision."

When asked if he was considering running for mayor, West said, "Right now, I am focusing on being the best council member I can for my district. We have a lot of projects in the works and that is where my focus is at."

If Johnson does vacate the mayor's office during this election cycle, the mayor pro tem (currently council member Jesse Moreno) would serve as acting mayor until a special election is held. Because Texas elections are held in May or November, and it's too late to schedule one for November, the next possible election would be in May 2026, city secretary Bilierae Johnson told The Dallas Morning News.

Among the political offices Johnson could seek if he resigns as mayor are the Texas attorney general seat being vacated by Ken Paxton, who is running for U.S. Senate, or a North Texas congressional seat such as the District 32 seat that has been redrawn to be a Republican-leaning district.

The deadline to file for either race is Dec. 8.

Time for an investigation. I wonder how much of that ended up in the mayor's Swiss bank account.

It's bizarre. But let's move on. No use investigating it...
