Abilene, TX – He declined to say whether he was eyeing any particular office and when he would make up his mind.
He also raised the prospect he could run for Congress, noting he is a resident of the 32nd Congressional District.
The incumbent is Democratic Rep. Colin Allred of Dallas.
As for a statewide campaign, West said he would not be deterred by an incumbent already having the endorsement of former President Donald Trump. Trump has already endorsed Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick for reelection.
West, who has been at the helm of the state Republican party for just shy of a year, will remain chair until a successor is picked on July 11, the party said.
The state office for land commissioner is also an open seat this election season now that incumbent commissioner George P. Bush has announced he’s running for attorney general.
