Collin County GOP chairman Abraham George is stepping down to run for the Texas House seat in District 89.
George made it official in an announcement Monday evening during the GOP's executive committee meeting at Collin College in McKinney.
George's Website says he immigrated with his family from India. In a news release, George says when he arrived in the United States in 1996, he was filled with pride for having legally become an American.
Saying he is excited to fight for values, he vows to defend the community and preserve the essence of the nation. He also says "our faith, values, and freedoms are under attack by wokeism, climate cultism, and gender ideology."
George will run in the GOP primary against three-term incumbent Candy Noble who, in a statement of her own says "I will proudly run on my proven conservative record of passing unprecedented border security funding, banning dangerous gender modification surgeries on minors, passing the largest property tax cut in Texas history, protecting innocent Texans from predators, and a long list of additional conservative achievements."
