Gov. Greg Abbott appointed Don Huffines, a former Republican state senator, as Texas comptroller of public accounts for the remainder of 2026 after acting head Kelly Hancock's resignation. Huffines, who defeated Hancock for the GOP nomination in March and will face state Sen. Sarah Eckhardt, D-Austin, in the November election, praised his appointment as an opportunity to campaign and listen to Texans. Abbott endorsed Huffines, highlighting his business acumen and conservative values. Eckhardt criticized the appointment as politically motivated, asserting that Huffines is incapable of winning independently. #ConservativeValues #PublicAccounts #Comptroller #Election2026 #TexasPolitics #CampaignTrail #TexasComptroller #TexasElections #DonHuffines #GregAbbott #chuckpointwalker https://youtu.be/aQnQ4q6PKnQ?si=-Fy4O-F1fHMynpnY
