Allen West resigns as chair of Texas Republican Party [View all]
Source: Texas Tribune
Texas GOP Chairman Allen West announced his resignation Friday morning, raising speculation he could run for statewide office.
West, who took over the party in July 2020, will remain chair until a successor is picked on July 11, the party said.
The party said in a statement that West “will take this opportunity to prayerfully reflect on a new chapter in his already distinguished career.”
West has not ruled out challenging Gov. Greg Abbott, and he has also had tension recently with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
