Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said prior to the 2022 election cycle that if he won re-election, “that’ll be my last term.”
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.said Tuesday he will “absolutely” run for reelection in 2026, a reversal from previous comments he made saying this would be his final term.
“That’ll be time,” Patrick said in July 2020. “I’m kind of a term-limits guy. That’ll be 12 years as lieutenant governor, if I’m blessed enough to win again.” On Tuesday, Patrick said he made the comment “on one of my 15-hour days and I really didn’t say that right.” Such legislation is likely to come down to the House, where rural Republicans have typically been key to block school choice proposals. Patrick has had an acrimonious relationship with House Speaker, R-Beaumont, and he signaled Tuesday that more conflict could be coming as the Senate gets to work for the 140-day session.
Patrick repeatedly said he wanted to stay out of House business, but he suggested there would be conflict if a conservative priority in the Senate gets held up in a Democrat-led House committee.
