Gilbert Campaign Statement on Today’s Developments in the Race for Texas Governor

DALLAS–Vince Leibowitz, spokesperson for Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Hank Gilbert (D-Whitehouse) issued the following statement today in response to developments in the race for Governor:

“Hank thanks Ambassador Schieffer for his service to our country and for running. Hank appreciates the Ambassador’s continued desire to serve our state and wishes him well in future endeavours.

However, a call to leave the Governor’s race and endorse another unannounced candidate fails to resonate with Hank. He got in this race because he believed no one in the field could both win and energize Democrats in order to help elect Democrats to downballot offices at all levels. That remains the case today. Hank is fully committed to this race and will see it through to an honorable conclusion.”
