flag Houston businessman Andrew White enters 2026 Democratic primary against Gov. Greg Abbott, citing flood tragedy and pragmatism.

flag Houston businessman Andrew White, son of former Texas Governor Mark White, has launched his second bid to challenge Republican Governor Greg Abbott in the 2026 Democratic primary. flag A 2018 primary loser to Lupe Valdez, White positions himself as a pragmatic, independent Democrat focused on electability, infrastructure, education, and healthcare over partisan ideology. flag Motivated by the deadly July 4 floods that nearly claimed his son’s life, he emphasizes problem-solving, bipartisan cooperation, and preparedness for crises. flag He joins rancher Bobby Cole and Bay City Councilman Benjamin Flores in a growing Democratic field. flag While Abbott leads with nearly $90 million in campaign funds, White pledges to cover his campaign’s costs personally, drawing on his business background and faith-based leadership to appeal to moderates and independents.
