Chris Bell enters Texas governor’s race, citing education as key issue

Texas (KCBD) – Chris Bell is one of nine Democrats running for the chance to challenge Gov. Greg Abbott in November.

Bell first ran for governor more than 20 years ago. He said his background as a lawyer and journalist makes him ready to serve on day one.

Bell said many of the issues he fought for during his first campaign remain unresolved in Texas, including public education.

“It’s not just about throwing more money…for public school education as long as I’ve been alive,” Bell said.
