*PING* to something not Fauci related.
My son is graduating and we are selling our house; downsizing.
Change is good.
I don’t get it. Vagabond? Bigger fish to fry? Lost his last election. Time to move on? Didn’t last long on his current job. Perhaps he should disappear into the sunset. That accident may have gotten him thinking.
He just announced that on the Chris Salcedo show
Maybe going to join the Trump administration.
Which one is uncertain.
Seems to be a pattern for him. He may be on our team, but he strikes me as having too rigid a personality to stay anywhere long enough to get much done.
Ping me if you hear anything! Who else lives in TX?
When does Cornstarch run again?
Ping!
I just pinged the TX pinger :-)
Did he say what his reason for resigning is?
He hasn’t been on the job all that long.
Donβt get it. He fought hard and long for that job and was pleased that Texas held the red in 2020.
What's he going to do between now and January 2025?
I get his emails....latest one was yesterday.....
No mention of resigning, just talked about CRT and asked for donation/supprt to TX GOP.
From a left-leaning TX outlet.....
The party said that West βwill take this opportunity to prayerfully reflect on a new chapter in his already distinguished career.β
A former one-term Florida congressman who moved to Texas several years ago, West took over the party last summer, unseating incumbent James Dickey. He quickly made a name for himself for his willingness to speak out against fellow Republicans, including Gov. Greg Abbott. West sued Abbott for extending the early voting period due to the coronavirus, protested outside the Governorβs Mansion over pandemic-related shutdowns and assailed state House speaker Dade Phelan as a traitor.
Critics have speculated for months that West was misusing the job of state party chairman to make a name for himself, potentially laying the groundwork to run for another office.
West has said he’s not ruled out challenging Gov. Greg Abbott, and he has also had tension recently with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

Listening to Chris Saucedo show this morning. Bit of guessing on next steps. Maybe a run for Governor.
I’m a Fort Worthian :)
I got back in my truck just in time to hear him say he was announcing for Texas governor. Look up Chris Salcedo show hour two from today. Itβs aroud 11.35 or so
If so, that’s a pretty big BOOM!
Thx.
