On the final day of filing for the 6th District congressional seat special election, former Trump communications director Katrina Pierson decided against a run for the open seat.
This, as 23 others, 11 Democrats and 13 Republicans, did take the plunge.
Pierson, widely reported to be a condidate, said Tuesday on Twitter she want found to sell to open seat, but signaled that she is open to running for Congress in 2022.
"I am humbled by the outpouring of support/encouragement of so many fellow Texans, Rep leaders & especially the Trump family! I have decided that I have a greater responsibility to #TakeBackTheHouse
--------------------------------------------------
I’m not running in TX6, but I’m not closing the door on Congress - stay tuned!"
Some insiders are speculating that polling was not great for her in this race. If she had run, she would have faced former Health and U.S. Human Services Dept. chief of staff Brian Harrison, making an expected Trump endorsement of Pierson problematic.
