He made the announcement Monday in a video posted to Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The El Paso-born Democrat built his reputation on suggesting buy-back programs for firearms, his aggressive approach to so-called climate change and calls for universal health care.<\/p>\n<p>In his announcement, he suggested Republicans are the ones implementing policies that divide while pointing to the pro-life, pro-Second Amendment and anti-critical race theory efforts made by the GOP in recent months.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m running for governor.<\/p>\n<p>Together, we can push past the small and divisive politics that we see in Texas today \u2014 and get back to the big, bold vision that used to define Texas.
